The work of Gaudí on the rooftop of La Pedrera brought his experience at [[Palau Güell]] together with solutions that were clearly more innovative&nbsp;– this time creating shapes and volumes with more body, more prominence, and less polychromasia.<ref name="Permanyer, either 1996 or 2008">https://www.permanyer.com/345438/{{Dead link|date=December 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

On the rooftop there are six skylights/staircase exits (four of which were covered with broken pottery and some that ended in a double cross typical of Gaudí), twenty-eight chimneys in several groupings, two half-hidden vents whose function is to renew the air in the building, and four domes that discharged to the facade. The staircases also house the water tanks; some of which are snail-shaped.

The stepped roof of La Pedrera, called "the garden of warriors" by the poet [[Pere Gimferrer]] because the chimneys appear to be protecting the skylights, has undergone a radical restoration, removing chimneys added in interventions after Gaudí, television antennas, and other elements that degraded the space. The restoration brought back the splendor to the chimneys and the skylights that were covered with fragments of [[marble]] and broken Valencia tiles. One of the chimneys was topped with glass pieces&nbsp;– it was said that Gaudí did that the day after the inauguration of the building, taking advantage of the empty bottles from the party. It was restored with the bases of champagne bottles from the early twentieth century. The repair work has enabled the restoration of the original impact of the overhangs made of stone from [[Ulldecona]] with fragments of tiles. This whole set is more colorful than the facade, although here the creamy tones are dominant.<ref name=ruta>[http://www.rutadelmodernisme.com/default.aspx?idioma=ca&contenido=body_rutamodernisme_04.htm Ruta del Modernisme] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200227083819/http://www.rutadelmodernisme.com/default.aspx?idioma=ca&contenido=body_rutamodernisme_04.htm |date=2020-02-27 }}.
