Torre Gorgot

Torre Gorgot features thick stone walls, prominent balconies with stone lintels, and a central access portal flanked by smaller entrances at ground level.

Built in the 17th century as part of Figueres defensive walls, the tower served as a municipal water depot distributing water from Castle of San Fernando.

The structure became part of the Dali Theatre-Museum complex in 1983, housing the offices of the Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation and preserving artistic heritage.

The building underwent complete exterior repainting in June 2019 to maintain its decorative elements and prevent color deterioration from weather exposure.

Salvador Dali lived in this tower from 1984 until 1989, transforming its exterior with painted elements and renaming it Torre Galatea after his wife.
