Why Visit Casa Vicens
- Gaudi's First Residence: Casa Vicens holds the honour of being the first residence designed by Antoni Gaudi. The legendary architect's signature style is on full display at Casa Vicens, making your visit even more remarkable.
- Unique Blend of Styles: Even though a few characteristics, like the wrought iron grilles and nature-inspired ceramic pieces, are recognisable as Gaudi's style, Casa Vicens is very different from the buildings he created afterwards - Casa Battló and Casa Milà. Gaudi combined and experimented with all of the skills he had learned while studying to create a one-of-a-kind decor influenced by oriental and Mozarabic designs and the environment.
- Sustainable Museum Project: The museum project at Casa Vicens is unique in that it tries to precisely restore Gaud's designs to their original condition. The goal is for the entire world to be able to experience Gaudi's wonderful artistic brilliance. It is focused on long-term sustainability and integrating the various components for the guests' enjoyment.

Casa Vicens Gaudi: Highlights
The present state of Casa Vicens and its land is the culmination of various alterations and transformations, with three distinct spaces: Antoni Gaud's initial construction from 1883-1885, Joan Baptista Serra de Martnez's additions from 1925, and the garden around the building. Here’s a look at the highlights of Casa Vicens:
The Main Door
- Entrance to the building is via the main floor, which houses the foyer, dining room, porch, and smoking room, all of which are the principal rooms.
- The foyer can be reached from the front door, which leads to a porch. The door is composed of wood and has a grid with round mouldings placed into it.
- The entryway includes a wooden beam roof with polychrome mouldings, along with sgraffito featuring plant patterns on the walls.
- A cast iron and glass chandelier, Islamic in style, hangs from the ceiling, replicating Gaudi's work.
The Dining Room
- The dining room is covered with growing ivy made of stucco on a gold backdrop, contrasting with papier-mâché with fruit patterns and strawberry leaves between both the ceiling beams.
- The dining room floor is built of Roman mosaic opus tessellatum. A fireplace with embossed glazed tile surrounds the wall facing the porch.
- The vaults are adorned with decorative clay motifs of cherry trees and shells.
- Francesc Torrescassana painted natural images are on display on the doorposts between the dining room and the porch, including sparrows, hummingbirds, herons, cranes, and flamingos.
The Smoking Room
- With a segmented vault and a ceiling of Islamic style muqarnas in the shape of stalactites, the smoking room is one of the most unique rooms in the home.
- The walls are lined with gold, blue, and green paper mâché tiles, and there's a blue and ochre-colored wardrobe with oil-painted red and yellow roses.
- Hermenegild Miralles, one of Gaudi's clients for whom he built the entrance gateway to the Miralles estate, created these papier mâché tiles.
- The smoking room features a Chinese-style lattice-style wooden door that leads to the garden. It had a hookah for smoking tobacco and was equipped with a foldable coffee table and low stools.
Paintings
- Francesc Torrescassana I Sallarés created the paintings in the dining room. From 1859 until 1865, he was a student at the Llotja School in Barcelona, where he was a protégé of Ramon Mart Alsina.
- Gaudi created wooden framed furniture from Ceylon lemon wood to display this collection, which blends in seamlessly with the rest of the exhibit.
- There are 32 paintings in the dining room, including two portraits, two interiors, and 28 landscapes. These paintings are influenced by Mart Alsina and inherited from his early realist approach.
- Only four of the paintings in the collection are signed and dated, and they are all from 1879. Oil on canvas is used in all of the works.
