The birthplace of Salvador Dalí, Figueres, is famous because of the Dalí Theatre-Museum, which is the most visited museum in Spain after the Prado in Madrid and the Guggenheim in Bilbao. It was built by Dali on the ruins of a 19th century Theatre. The building has a large glass dome and its edges are decorated by large egg shapes. It is, in its entirety, Dali's greatest work, and was created by Dali specifically to offer its visitors a unique visual experience. The historic center of Figueres is bounded by remains of its old wall, put up in the Middle Ages to defend the town. As a matter of fact, beautiful corners from the medieval period are preserved, like the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, remodeled in Neoclassical style and where the council building stands, or the area around Carrer Magre, where there old Jewish quarter was located.
Artistic Spain!. These cities: Madrid (vibrant city, with its diverse spanish Museums) and Barcelona (eccentric and bewildering architecture, the Gothic Quarter and Rambla District) have an almost embarrassing wealth of artistic heritage. Discover for yourself the stunning architecture of Gaudi, the brilliance of Dali and Picasso, and visit the famous Golden Triangle with El Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen Museums. Be sure to come back to take advantage of all these cities can offer!.
