The Journey
Casa Vicens
Casa Vicens, Antoni Gaudí's first major commission (1883-1885), is a vibrant testament to early Modernisme architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Commissioned by Manuel Vicens, this former summer house breaks from convention with its bold use of color, intricate brickwork, and ceramic tilework inspired by the surrounding nature. Explore the lush gardens and interiors, a glimpse into Gaudí's burgeoning genius and the aesthetic renewal sweeping 19th-century Europe. A visit to Casa Vicens provides a foundational understanding of Gaudí's later, more famous works, showcasing the origins of his organic and fantastical style that would come to define Barcelona.

Review Summary
Customers find Casa Vicens to be a beautiful and underrated Gaudí masterpiece worthy of visiting, with particular praise for the intricate tile work, ornate ceilings, vibrant colors, and the informative audioguide that explains the design details of each room[1][3][4]. The self-guided experience with audioguide is highly convenient and available in multiple languages[4][10]. However, some visitors note that the house lacks original furniture, which diminishes the atmosphere somewhat[1][3], and occasional audioguide technical issues can occur, though staff assistance is available[4]. Overall, the experience is rated highly (4.7-4.8 stars) and recommended for architecture enthusiasts and photography lovers seeking a less crowded Gaudí experience[1][4].
