Industrialist Eusebi Güell commissioned Antoni Gaudì to construct this unique, gorgeous townhouse in the late-19th century. It served as an extension of the family’s private residence located on La Ramblas, to be used for concerts, parties and exhibitions.

This house is full of exacting, elaborate details, from the carved ceilings, stained glass windows, wrought iron supports and stonework. Gaudì shaped each ceiling, arch and column.
