Casa Vicens
Step into the first-ever house that Gaudi created.
What you'll do
Casa Vicens was the first house that Gaudí designed and one of his most important works.
The architectural gem was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005 and uses a variety of different materials, vibrant colors, and unique features.
Explore its impressive interiors and see the Neo-Mudéjar architecture up close. Head up to the second floor of the house to browse the permanent collection and discover more than 130 years of history. Learn all about Gaudí's intellectual influences, inspiration, and his projects prior to building the house. You'll also see a reproduction of the Reus manuscript, in which Gaudí wrote down everything from his accounts to his reflections on architecture.
Along with the permanent collection, there are temporary exhibitions throughout the year focussing on Spanish culture and art.
