La Casa Trias

La Casa Trias, now known as the Casa-Museu Gaudí, is a historic villa in Park Güell in Barcelona. The building was originally constructed between 1903 and 1905 as a show home for a planned residential development by the industrialist Eusebi Güell. When no buyer could be found for the house, the architect Antoni Gaudí bought it in 1906 and lived there until the end of 1925, shortly before his death. The building, which was designed by Francesc Berenguer i Mestres and signed by Gaudí himself, has four floors. The ground floor and the first floor house the public collection, while the second floor holds the Enric Casanelles Library, which can be visited by appointment.

Inside the museum's rooms, you get an insight into the life of the famous architect. Living spaces such as the bedroom, the study, and the entrance hall are on display, complemented by personal belongings that evoke Gaudí's time. A particular highlight is the important collection of furniture that Gaudí designed for other projects such as Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, or the crypt of the Colònia Güell. Together with the wrought-iron elements visible in the garden, these objects are considered the most valuable parts of the exhibition. You can also see additional furniture, sculptures, paintings, and drawings that reflect the architect's artistic milieu.
