Torre Bellesguard - GAUDI - SPAIN
A castle and family house, which speaks history and one that Gaudi himself created, Torre Bellesguard (“beautiful view”) is just that.
Martin of Aragon, the last king of the House of Barcelona dynasty, died in 1410, and he and his family formerly lived at this site, which has expansive views over Barcelona.
In the year 1900, Gaudi was authorized to construct a castle on the site. As to safeguard against decay and the quicksand of Barcelona’s urban growth, the Guilera family, who have lived there since 1944, made the former hospital available to the public in 2013.
Exceptional in its straight lines (quite un-Gaudi), and an unusual wooden loft that stands bare of his normal mosaic colour explosion, it stays among the lesser-known gifts by Gaudi. This is what makes this building special to visit.
Located on the top of the city, on the foothills of Collserolaa, this castle’s location is what makes it the prettiest. You can enjoy marvellous views of Barcelona from the top of the building.
The building depicts the work of Antoni Gaudi and his identity. The walls of the buildings are plastered and layered with limestone paints.
There are pure white walls that majorly have a visual of rounded and undulating forms of Mudejar influence. The big windows are the source of intense lighting in the building.
The fee to enter one of the famous buildings in Barcelona is EUR 10 for adults and EUR 8 for children. You must visit there with a guided tour.
