Bellesguard Tower, a modernist wonder

Written by Adriana

One of the attractions for visitors to Barcelona is undoubtedly its striking modernist architecture, unmatched by any other. But beyond the most monumental places known as the Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Casa Batllo and Parc Güell, designed by Gaudí there are several buildings that are less known and cherished, but no less valuable. One is the Bellesguard Tower (“beautiful view” in Catalan), as it is commonly known the Figueras House, designed by Gaudí and built between 1900 and 1909 taking advantage of the remaining elements of what was once the castle of the king of Aragon “Martin I el Humano”. Currently owned Guilera family, is located right below the Collserola mountain, specifically in the street Bellesguard 16-20. ShBarcelona suggests you visit this tower with a guided tour.
