Then we will go to the Gala-Dalí Castle of Púbol, open to the public since 1996, and discover this medieval building, which formerly belonged to the barony of Púbol around the 14th century. Dali fell in love with and bought the property in 1969. Throughout the restoration, Dali transformed the place into a Dalinian creation by putting his own personal touches with the goal of providing Gala with a quiet and secluded place. The castle served as Salvador Dalí's last studio and finally the mausoleum of his muse.
