Gala Dalí Castle, Púbol
Castell Gala Dalí de Púbol
A medieval castle that Dalí bought for his wife Gala. She lived alone here and is buried in the crypt. It is the third stop on the Dalí Triangle.
In 1969, Dalí bought this 11th-century Gothic castle and gave it to Gala, promising not to visit unless she invited him in writing. He personally decorated the ceiling murals, the sculptures of elephants on long legs and the garden. The castle displays Gala's haute couture gowns and a Cadillac vintage car. Gala is buried in the underground crypt. The castle is small, so allow about an hour. It is closed in winter, and admission is about 10 euros. It lies between Palafrugell and Girona. Together with the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres and Dalí's house in Port Lligat, it forms the 'Dalí Triangle'.
