Palau Güell Barcelona is a distinctive modernist mansion built by Antoni Gaudí, the renowned practitioner of Catalan modernism. The building was commissioned by the industrial magnate Eusebi Güell and was constructed between 1885 and 1890.
The building, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, was designed as a residence for the executive’s family. Today, the mansion is exactly as it was when Gaudí built it.
The tour of the Palace includes a delicious visit to the old stables located in the basement of the building and even its impressive roof terrace. The guide will stop at each room to reveal Gaudí’s unique and symbolic universe. The Güell Palace offers a new and unique concept of space and light. All rooms in the mansion are original and full of ornate elements designed by the architect.
The most exceptional part of the Palau Güell is the roof terrace, very similar to La Pedrera – Casa Milà. The ceiling measures 400 square meters and is decorated with curious chimneys covered in colorful mosaics.
