Castle of Púbol

The Gothic fortification stands atop an elevated area of La Pera, featuring a walled garden, a church, and a residence transformed into exhibition spaces.

The castle's first documented mention dates to 1065 when Gaufred Bastons transferred its control to the Counts of Barcelona, marking its significant regional influence.

Salvador Dalí purchased this castle in 1969 for his wife Gala, renovating its interior with artistic elements and establishing it as her private retreat.

The museum displays Dalí's paintings, drawings, haute couture dresses, period furniture, and provides access to multiple rooms including the Piano Hall and Garden.

The castle contains a bathroom converted from a kitchen, demonstrating Dalí's distinctive architectural modifications and creative vision for the space.
