Torre Bellesguard

House designed by Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona, hosting a permanent exhibition on the history of Catalonia, the references behind its design and panoramic views of the city.

Torre Bellesguard is the house that Antoni Gaudí designed in Barcelona, and it hosts a permanent exhibition focusing on the history of Catalonia as it relates to the building. The visit presents the references that shaped its design and the architectural solutions that the architect later took to the Sagrada Familia.

Gaudí took as his starting point a medieval castle associated with Martín I el Humano, the monarch who ended the Catalan dynasty. In the project he combined the Modernista style with Gothic elements and adopted an approach based on straight lines, which he had hardly used until then.

Bellesguard means 'beautiful view' in Catalan, and from the tower there are panoramic views of Barcelona. The visit is at your own pace, designed for those who want to discover Gaudí's work without rushing and to combine it with the view of the city.
