About Casa Vicens

Considered his first masterpiece, the Vicens House, was Antoni Gaudí's first significant contract in 1878. On this creative, contemporary, and avant-garde project, the architect employs many of the structural, ornamental, and symbolic components that eventually came to characterize his architectural language for the first time.

Great for

Architecture Enthusiasts

Did you know?

Casa Vicens was built as a summer home, and Gaudí incorporated subtle symbols throughout the design reflecting this. Look for sunflowers and marigolds in the tilework, which were traditional summer flowers in Catalonia.

This house was Gaudí's first major project, and it hints at his future architectural style. See if you can spot the early influences of natural forms and geometric shapes that became his signature.

The colorful tiles and geometric patterns are inspired by Moorish architecture. Take a moment to appreciate the intricate tilework on the facade, particularly the green and white geometric design.

While Gaudí's design is a major draw, the house has a rich history beyond its famous architect. It's changed hands numerous times and even served as a factory at one point. Explore the museum on the second floor to discover this fascinating backstory.

Why visit Casa Vicens?

Birth of Gaudí's genius

Casa Vicens is not just Gaudí's first major project, it's the foundation for his entire architectural language. See the early hints of his signature curves, vibrant colors, and nature-inspired forms that would blossom in his later masterpieces like Sagrada Familia and Park Güell.

Spot Gaudí's early inspirations

Casa Vicens reflects Gaudí's fascination with Mudéjar architecture, a Spanish style with Islamic influences. Here, you'll see the geometric patterns, Moorish arches, and colorful ceramics that would become recurring themes in his work.

A step back in time

Casa Vicens offers a glimpse into Barcelona's bourgeois life in the late 19th century. Explore the permanent exhibition to understand the social and cultural context that shaped this architectural gem.

A Barcelona beyond Sagrada Familia

While Sagrada Familia is undoubtedly iconic, Casa Vicens offers a fresh perspective on Gaudí's genius. See the potential of a young architect who would redefine the city's skyline.

Second time visiting, first time with friends. We are Architecture graduates and this was a must see stop at Barcelona, and it was absolutely worth it. Casa Mila is a complete journey where you experience a glimpse to the past, Gaudi's mind, nature, the cityscape and a touch of magic.

I had assumed it was just a rental flat, but it proved far more interesting than I'd imagined. The brick-built attic room, inspired by whale bones, was the most striking feature. Gaudí's meticulous attention to detail was evident throughout the exceptionally well-crafted design.
