An entrancing work that combines Gothic and Modernista elements, this lesser-known, now-restored Gaudí masterpiece was built between 1900 and 1909. Still owned by the Guilera family, the private residence has a castle-like appearance with crenellated walls of stone and brick, narrow stained-glass windows, elaborate ironwork, gorgeous gardens and a turret topped by a colourfully tiled Gaudían cross, along with spectacular city views. There's been a manor here since the 1400s.
Bellesguard is a 1.4km walk west of Avinguda Tibidabo train station, though several buses pass nearby (196, 123, V13, H2). Check schedules before making the trek out – it's sometimes closed for private events.
