When we think of Salvador Dalí, the image of the eccentric artist with the weird mustache comes to mind. This world-renowned surrealist painter was born in Figueres in 1904, and his childhood home has been open to the public since October 2023. Right in the center of the city, exactly where it all began for him and where he discovered his imagination and his love for art, you can get to know the thousand faces of Dalí in a unique way.

In his childhood home, the character of the future genius of surrealism was forged, characterized by confrontations with his authoritarian father; the absence of a mother, who died prematurely; his relationship with his sister, who always idolized him; and the shadow of a brother who died only nine months before his birth and from whom he inherited the name.
