Dalí's universe in the Empordà

Cadaqués and its surroundings are an inseparable part of Salvador Dalí's universe. Here he found inspiration, refuge, and beauty, and here he left an artistic mark that can still be felt in every corner.

Following in their footsteps is also discovering the surreal essence of Empordà.

A journey through the most magical corners that marked his imagination

Salvador Dalí House-Museum (Portlligat)

The Salvador Dalí House-Museum in Portlligat is the only stable home the artist had, and the place where he lived and worked for decades.

Located in a small, quiet cove, the house is a labyrinth of connected rooms, full of eccentric elements and surreal details.

Every corner reflects his inner world and his boundless creativity. The natural light, the views over the bay and the intimate atmosphere make the visit an immersive experience. In addition, personal objects, original furniture and curiosities are preserved that allow us to better understand Dalí's universe and his relationship with Portlligat.

Dalí Theatre-Museum (Figueres)

Located in his hometown, the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres is one of his most emblematic creations. Dalí conceived it as a total work of art, where every detail (from the facade to the layout of the rooms) reflects his surrealist universe.

Inaugurated in 1974, the building stands on the remains of the old municipal theater, destroyed during the Civil War. Inside, visitors can admire an extensive collection of works from all of Dalí's creative stages, as well as striking installations and surprising pieces.

The artist is buried there, turning the museum into a symbolic and essential space.

Púbol Castle (La Pera)

The Castle of Púbol, located in the municipality of La Pera, is an architectural jewel that Salvador Dalí gave to his wife and muse, Gala.

The artist transformed it into an intimate and mysterious space, personally decorating it with elements laden with symbolism. For years, it was Gala's private refuge, where Dalí could only access it with her written permission.

Today, the castle is a museum that allows you to discover a more personal side of the Empordà genius. You can see Gala's original costumes, works by Dalí and the original spaces as he conceived them.
