Palazzo Gü ell is a project that Antonio Gaudí completed at the very beginning of his career, commissioned by the famous philanthropist and art connoisseur Eusebio Gü ell. Address: Carrer Nou de la Rambla, 3-5 Website: http://palauguell. cat/ There is no possibility to buy a ticket online, only at the ticket office of the palace. The cost is 12 euros. The audio guide is included in the ticket price (no Russian language).
Inspection of the Palace Gü ell begins on the lower floor (planta baja). It was on this floor, in the vestibule, that visitors to the palace, who came to the mansion on horse-drawn carts, got to. In order to prevent the unpleasant smells of the stables from spreading throughout the house, Gaudí developed a system of ventilation shafts that vertically permeate the entire house to ventilate the basement.
Next is the main salon (salo central), which is also called the concert hall. The attraction of this hall is a huge parabolic dome, lined with stone slabs from the inside and uniting the entire mansion.

The roof is decorated with a "magic garden" of twenty multi-colored conical turrets - chimneys and ventilation shafts. According to legend, Eusebio Gü ell had a wonderful dinner service from Limoges, but over time he got tired of it, and the philanthropist gave the service to Gaudi for lining the chimneys on the roof of his residence in Barcelona.
