Known forGaudímodernismeunderratedEl Raval
Gaudí's first major commission for his patron Eusebi Güell is a dark, dramatic mansion that predates his more famous works and reveals a different, more austere side of his genius. The rooftop forest of chimneys — each uniquely tiled — is as inventive as anything at Park Güell but sees a fraction of the visitors. The interior parabolic central hall is breathtaking and the audio guide is genuinely informative. Closed Mondays; book online to avoid queues.
