The famous Catalan architect was only 30 years old when he built the Casa Vicens as a holiday home for Señor Manel Vicens i Montaner. Even this first work of his already demonstrates the immense talent and extraordinary creativity which made Gaudí famous worldwide. All the architect's works convey a profound sense of unity and a communion with nature and this splendid Arabian style house is no exception with the only difference being that, as these were the early years of Catalan modernism, the style is quite unique and somewhat different from the architect's later constructions. The Casa Vicens, out of all his buildings, is the one that most successfully conveys a deep sense of peace and a union with nature even now when the originally immense garden from that time no longer surrounds the property and only a small part of which still remains.
What can I visit inside the Casa Vicens?
Without doubt, the Casa Vicens is a true oasis of tranquility, nestled in the greenery of its gardens and with every detail providing a link to the natural world. The building consists of four floors: the cellar, two floors for the living quarters and the floor for the servants. The ground floor was one of the spaces to which Gaudí paid the greatest attention during the construction of the building. In fact, you will be able to see how it was conceived as a semi-open space which provided a link to the outside, enabling the natural world of the garden to remain in visual contact throughout the interior. One of the most beautiful features of the house is undoubtedly the garden with a large waterfall beneath a parabolic arch and a circular fountain near the street. You will be entranced by the exterior details, by the ceramics and the ironwork as well as all the other intricate details of this surprising building. Book your entry tickets now!
