The Salvador Dalí Triangle
The life and works of this painter from Figueres are condensed into three emblematic areas: the Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the House-Museum in Portlligat and the Púbol Castle.
In the Theatre-Museum in Figueres, you can admire works such as Galarina, the Spectre of Sex Appeal or Atomic Leda; surrealist installations such as the Rainy Taxi or the Mae West room, and recurrent obsessions, such as his Empordà roots or the figure of Gala.
The second place is the House-Museum in Portlligat, Cadaqués, a set of fishing huts that Dalí reformed so that he could install his home and workshop; the result is a maze-like structure, with small chained areas and full of different levels, in which the painter's furniture and personal objects are preserved. To visit it, you must book beforehand.
The Triangle is completed with Púbol Castle, in the municipal area of La Pera, in the Baix Empordà, which Dalí bought as a gift for Gala, to fulfil his promise to make her the queen of a castle. In addition to the art collection, you can see the muse's private rooms, her collection of haut couture dresses, the Cadillac that belonged to the couple and the crypt in which Gala is buried.
