Gaudí Torre Bellesguard

The Bellesguard house was built by Antoni Gaudí between 1900 and 1909, using rectilinear forms rarely seen in his other work. This castle was a blend of Art Nouveau and Gothic style and restored the ruins of the medieval palace, which are now part of the estate’s grounds.The history of Bellesguard is inextricably bound up with the history of Catalonia.

Gaudi's inspiration for the house was the medieval castle of Martin I, also known as Martin the Humane, the last king of the Catalan dynasty of the House of Barcelona, who resided at Bellesguard until his death in 1410. You will see how he toned down his signature style while still leaving touches of his aesthetics in the building.

From the majestic exterior to the winding staircase leading down to the stunning music room, you will see Gaudi's versatility as an architect and his reverence towards the structure that he worked on. The palace grounds are equally beautiful as well so don't forget to take lots of pictures while you're in the venue. Make sure to wear comfortable footwear as there will be lots of walking up and down the stairs inside the palace. An audioguide is also available in Catalan, Spanish, English, French, Japanese and Russian so you can get the full story of this underrated gem.

Closed on Mondays. Please wear comfortable footwear during your visit.
