In the quiet village of Púbol, not far from Figueres (Girona), you will find the Castell Gala Dalí, the castle purchased by Salvador Dalí for his muse and companion Gala. Converted into a museum in 1996, it is a suggestive place where art and memory merge into an intimate and contemplative experience.
Originally built between the 14th and 15th centuries, the ancient fortress was transformed by Dalí in the 1980s into a surreal residence designed for Gala. The setting blends Gothic elements with the artist's personal touches, such as vibrant colors, mirrors framed in unique shapes, and rooms decorated with symbolic furniture and objects. Among the most exciting spaces are Gala's Bedroom, the Gothic Gallery, Dalí's last studio, and the funerary crypt that houses Gala's body.
The approximately 75-minute tour is available with a guided visit — a 20-minute introduction followed by free exploration of the castle and surrounding gardens, including the courtyard, the pool, and the evocative garage. The visit requires advance booking and offers a intimate and exclusive experience.
Perfect for surrealist art enthusiasts, Dalí admirers, or those wishing to discover a more personal side of his story, the Castell Gala Dalí is a hidden gem immersed in a medieval Catalan setting.
