Central Dome
Palau Güell's hall is crowned by a parabolic dome, which lights the whole space through a series of small openings and a large central oculus. The dome is topped by a 15-metre high spire in the top roof.
Palau Güell was one of the first important commissions Antoni Gaudí received at the start of his career. Eusebi Güell (industrialist, politician and patron of the arts) wanted Gaudí to build him this peculiar urban palace as an extension of the family home on La Rambla. It was the home of the Güell i López family until they moved to Park Güell.
