Step by Step

Before the world knew the Sagrada Familia or Park Güell, Antoni Gaudí left his mark with a work that would mark a before and after in architecture: Casa Vicens. This building was his first major commission, a summer residence built between 1883 and 1885 that already reflected his unique and innovative vision.

During this guided tour, you will walk through its rooms while you discover the beginnings of a genius who would revolutionise urban design. The guide will take you through the different areas of the house, explaining the details of its decorative elements, the natural and oriental references, and Gaudí's influence on the development of Catalan Modernisme.

Casa Vicens stands out for its colourful ceramic mosaic, its Catalan vaults, its ornate balconies and a design that breaks with traditional forms. The house is surrounded by a Mediterranean garden, a calm space that represents Gaudí's link with nature.

The visit also includes access to La Capell, an exquisite bookshop and shop specialising in architecture, design and Catalan culture, perfect for a special souvenir.
