Located in the heart of Barcelona's Gràcia district, Casa Vicens is Antoni Gaudí's first major work, built between 1883 and 1885. Initially designed as a summer residence for the Vicens family, it marked the beginning of the Catalan architect's creative career and foreshadowed his unique style.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, Casa Vicens stands out for its orientalist style, which combines Moorish, neo-Mudejar and Asian influences. Its colorful facade, adorned with green and white ceramics, exposed brick and floral motifs inspired by Indian carnations, attests to the inspiration Gaudí drew from nature.
The interior of the house is exceptionally rich in decoration, with painted ceilings, mosaics, ironwork and furniture designed by Gaudí himself. Each room offers an immersion into the architect's dreamlike world, where craftsmanship and innovation converge.
After more than 130 years as a private residence, Casa Vicens has been carefully restored and opened to the public as a museum. Visitors can now explore this seminal work of Gaudí and discover the beginnings of his architectural genius.
