The venue
Torre Bellesguard Gaudí - Casa Figueres
Bellesguard: Gaudí and Catalan medieval.
Set in Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova, Antoni Gaudí's Torre Bellesguard stands as a unique dialogue between modernism and neogothic. Built between 1900 and 1909, this Casa Figueres rests upon the remnants of a medieval castle, once home to King Martin I the Humane. The Catalan architect paid homage to this past, incorporating straight lines—uncommon in his work—and materials like local slate, lending the building a sober, fortress-like appearance. From its strategic position, "Bellesguard"—"beautiful view" in Catalan—offers sweeping vistas of Barcelona, cementing its status as an architectural landmark that merges local history with Gaudí's creative vision. Its arches and intricate details, though still private, offer key insight into his formal evolution.
