In 1906, Gaudí moved to this house in Park Güell with his father and his niece. After the two died, he continued to live there alone, with help in household chores from Carmelite nuns, and often had friends stay over, looking out for his health.
Over the nearly twenty years that Gaudí spent in the house, he worked on his more mature projects and, especially, the Sagrada Família, on which he focused his efforts exclusively after 1914. He was so involved in this project that, in the end, he moved into the Temple workshop so he could monitor construction more closely.
Today, the Gaudí House Museum features a collection that aims to show visitors the more personal, religious side of Gaudí, re-creating some of the most private rooms of the house and displaying some of the architect’s personal items.
