The current House-Museum of Portlligat was the only stable home of Salvador Dalí, the place where he lived and worked regularly until 1982, with the death of his wife Gala, he took up residence in the Castle of Púbol. This house museum, unique in the world, opens its doors for you to discover the artistic and everyday universe of the brilliant Catalan painter who spent the best years of his life in this magical corner of the Costa Brava.
The house, which was built on different fishermen's huts that Dalí bought in Portlligat, has a labyrinthine structure with three different parts: the couple's private areas, the painter's workshop and the outdoor area.
