Step by Step

To visit Gaudí's El Capricho in Comillas is to enter a fascinating work by the Catalan architect that combines fantasy, functionality and a constant homage to nature. It is one of his earliest projects, and also one of the few examples of his work outside Catalonia, which makes it a true architectural gem.

Built as a summer residence for a wealthy client (who never lived in it), this building stands out for its unmistakable Persian-inspired minaret decorated with sunflower mosaics, a motif that is repeated on the façade and inside, lending a magical and cheerful air to the whole.

During your visit you can tour the interior rooms, which are full of surprising details and innovative solutions that bear witness to Gaudí's precocious talent. Its asymmetrical structure, bright colours and integration with the natural surroundings make this place a must for lovers of art, history and architecture.

Thanks to the audio guide included, available in five languages, you will learn the history of this peculiar construction and its best-kept secrets, from the symbolism of its decorative elements to the orientalist influence in its design.
