Gala Dalí Castle
In the medieval village of Púbol in Catalonia, Salvador Dalí transformed a 14th-century Gothic castle into a private sanctuary for his wife and muse, Gala. Dalí designed every detail of the space with her in mind, from the surrealist-tinged gardens and swimming pool to the decorated interiors, creating a retreat of quiet austerity punctuated by moments of surrealist wonder. Though the castle dates to the 11th century, its current three-storey structure took shape during the 14th and 15th centuries. Between 1982 and 1984, it became both Dalí's last working studio and, following Gala's death, her mausoleum. Open to the public since 1996, it remains one of the most personal and quietly haunting spaces in the Dalí universe.
