Palau Güell, Modernist palace in El Raval, Barcelona, Spain.
The seven-story residence features parabolic arches, wrought iron details, stone columns, and a central hall topped with a high dome.
Industrial magnate Eusebi Güell commissioned architect Antoni Gaudí to construct this residence between 1886 and 1890 as his private mansion.
The building represents an early example of Catalan Modernism architecture, combining Gothic and Moorish elements in its structural design.
Visitors can access the palace from Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours from April to October and shorter hours from November to March.
Twenty chimneys on the roof terrace display intricate mosaic patterns made with trencadís technique, each serving as a functional ventilation system.
