Dalí bought this Gothic-Renaissance castle near the township of La Bisbal for his wife in 1970 under the strict condition that he could visit here only if personally invited. Together they decorated it with paintings Dalí had bought as gifts and furnished it with furniture acquired during their frequent antiquing trips.
All are preserved, along with Dalí’s watercolor depiction of the castle and Gala’s haute-couture wardrobe ensemble. A tour of the grounds includes the gardens and pond, adorned with a sculpture by Dalí, the various entertainment and private rooms as well as a trip down into the basement where Gala is buried.
After she died in 1982 Dalí moved from his studio in Portlligat to this castle, where he created his last works and almost died when a fire swept through his bedroom late one night. After this traumatic event that left the artist severely scarred, he retired to Figueres to live out the rest of his days as a hermit.
