Part 1 – Torre Bellesguard, the unknown Gaudi
Torre Bellesguard Antoni Gaudi
Antoni Gaudi, one of the most well known architect of the Catalan modernism built this house to a close friend, the merchant Jaume Figueras in 1900. It was closed to the public until sometime ago when the actual owners, the Guilera Family decide to share the building with visitors.

Facade Torre Bellesguard
Torre Bellesguard was built on the same site as Marti the Humane, the last monarch of the House of Aragón, built a summer retreat in 1410.
That´s the reason the house looks like a castle since Gaudi wanted to claim the history of the site.
Interiors instead are a very good example of the catalan art nouveau architecture.
