Gala Dalí Castle Guided Tour

Discover the private world of Salvador Dalí and his muse Gala at the Castle of Púbol, a medieval fortress transformed into a surrealist sanctuary. This guided tour reveals the intimate spaces where Dalí channelled his creative genius and Gala held court as his greatest inspiration. You'll explore rooms filled with original artworks, bizarre decorative elements, and personal treasures that tell the story of one of art history's most fascinating partnerships.

Your expert guide leads you through the castle's evocative halls, from Gala's private chambers to spaces adorned with Dalí's signature oddities, including the famous taxidermy horse. The tour uncovers the castle's evolution from its Gothic and Renaissance origins to its surrealist transformation, whilst revealing little-known stories about the couple's relationship and creative collaboration. Each room offers insight into how this remarkable residence became both home and artistic statement.
