What to do here?
Descover the Dalí House, where he lived and worked until 1982. In 1930, Salvador Dalí moved to a small fisherman's hut in Portlligat, attracted by the landscape, the light and the isolation of the place. Taking that inicial construction as a basis, he created his house little by little over the course of forty years.

Our Story
Salvador Dali House
Three different areas are to be found in the house: the part in which the private lives of the Dalí's couple took place, the ground floor and Rooms 7 to 12; the Study, Rooms 5 and 6, with lots of objects connected with his artistic activity; and the outdoor areas, Room 13 and Courtyards 14 and 15, specially designed for public life. From 4 August 2009 it became possible to visit another area located in the Olive Grove area, whose circular construction was used by the artist as an additional studio, especially useful for making sculptures and performances. The glass skylights allowed Dalí to paint feet, as the ones you can find in the Wind Palace (the Noble Room of the Theatre-Museum in Figueres). In the outdoor part of the tower he built in some clay receptacles with holes in them so that the vessel whistled when the strong tramontane wind blew. Inside a piano can be found, which Dalí had used in some artistic performances, along with two projectors which simultaneously showed audiovisual depictions of the artist: reports from the 60s and 70s with Dalí and the Portlligat house as protagonists.
