Highights
It was in 1885 when the famous Count commissioned the not yet very well-known architect Gaudí. He was aware of Guell's desire to show off in front of his friends since the house would be used for exhibitions, concerts, etc. And he conceived an unusual and daring architectural project, based on traditional construction techniques, as well as as in the use of a wide variety of materials, focusing on the most expensive, such as marble. He combined the square structure of medieval Catalan palaces and a coffered wooden ceiling with innovations such as the parabolic arch, so characteristic of his work. They say he created not only a palace, but also a metaphor for Guell himself who rises from dark poverty to the color of the roof, and the ground floor with gray marble contrasts with the play of colors and shapes of the twenty roof chimneys, true symbols of the Palau Güell.
