Gaudí's first house: tiles, domes, ironwork, terrace
"The first house designed by Antoni Gaudí, Casa Vicens is an underrated attraction that remains relatively unknown to tourists." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Built in the 1880s as a summerhouse for stockbroker Manel Vicens, Casa Vicens was the very first house Gaudí designed. Forget the Gaudí of La Sagrada Família fame, this is his Orientalist Period. Imagine a Moorish palace merged with a Rubik’s cube. It’s crazy. Anyone who’s a fan of tiles or maximalist design will geek out on the oriental palms, pink walls, flower-adorned tiles and flying birds. Add in a terracotta roof terrace, a couple of elaborate domes, and some Gaudí ironwork and you’re left wondering how it all harmonizes together. Because, weirdly, it does." - Gemma Askham

"Gaudí's Casa Vicens sits in Gràcia as one of his notable works and adds to the neighborhood's appeal for those seeking quieter, architecture-focused stays." - Matthew Kepnes
