Palau Güell
Palacio Güell
Palau Güell is a city mansion in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudí for industrialist Eusebi Güell, completed around 1890. The compact, multi-storey palace organises service areas below and reception spaces above around a tall central receiving hall; its façade and rooftop are notable for heavy stonework, intricate wrought iron and colourful chimney stacks. It is part of the UNESCO Works of Antoni Gaudí.

As it stood in 1890
What Palau Güell looked like in its prime.
A narrow urban façade of Garraf limestone with three broad parabolic-arched entrances in smooth polished stone beneath a projecting tribune supported on a row of 21 carved corbels. Upper floors show rusticated, punched stone and a crenellated parapet. Tall, narrow windows are protected by dense wrought-iron grilles with vegetal motifs; the roofline is punctuated by cone and pine-shaped chimneys clad in coloured ceramics. Overall tones: warm beige/grey stone, dark oxidised iron and bright ceramic accents on the terrace.
