El Capricho

El Capricho is a highly detailed, whimsical mansion located in Comillas, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí in the early 20th century. Built between 1898 and 1902, it showcases Gaudí’s signature organic shapes, vibrant colors, and intricate craftsmanship, blending elements of Catalan Modernism and nature-inspired design. Originally a private home for a wealthy collector, it features ornate tile work, stained glass, and unusual architectural forms that reflect Gaudí’s creative vision. Today, El Capricho is a cultural monument open to visitors, offering insight into Gaudí’s early experimentation before his more famous works like Sagrada Família.
