Architectural Marvel: El Capricho de Gaudi

El Capricho de Gaudi is an early work of the celebrated architect, constructed between 1883 and 1885 as a summer residence for the Marqués de Comillas’ family. This building is a rare reminder of Gaudí's genius outside Catalonia, noted for its Persian-style minaret and colorful ceramic stripes depicting sunflowers and green leaves.

The significance of El Capricho extends beyond its aesthetics; it exemplifies the European Modernism movement through its unique architectural features such as artesonado ceilings, stained-glass windows, and slim spiral staircases, while the tranquil back garden includes a bronze sculpture of Gaudí itself. Visitors can gain deeper insights by watching a video in the greenhouse before exploring the house.
