Teatro-Museo Dali, Spain
From series “Houses of Famous People and Stars Currently Open to Tourists”
At first glance at the House Museum of Salvador Dali, one can say that the house of the outstanding surrealist painter should look exactly like this. The unique house is located in Figeras and forms a uniform architectural group with reconstructed walls surrounding the city in the early Middle Ages. The history of the museum is incredibly interesting. In the first half of the 20th century, this building served as the location of the theater in which the young painter presented his first works.
During the bourgeois war, the building was partly destroyed, and was long empty in the post-war period. In 1960 Salvador Dali bought the building and completely rebuilt it. In the magnificent mansion, the painter lived until his death in 1989. The museum was still open during the lifetime of the painter, Its opening was a real holiday for the tiny city.

First settlers in this area, the Indigetes, lived here yet in 600 BC. At that time, this was a swampy region covered with dense reed. Local people were building their houses on a hill in order to protect the buildings from water. Archaeologists found many fragments of ceramic items that belong to that period. When the Romans came to this land, they founded a small village and named it after reed or sedge, to be precise. As the new settlement was built along the Via Domitia and was a stop for merchants, it quickly became famous. During the antique period, the city had another name – Juncaria. The Visigoths gave Figueres its current name.
