Is Palau Güell worth it for photographers?

Worth itFor photos

For beauty & photography, Palau Güell delivers.

Gaudí's early commission for his patron Eusebi Güell is a moody, opulent townhouse — parabolic stone arches, a soaring central hall, and a rooftop bristling with trippy mosaic chimneys. It's a UNESCO site that's far quieter than Casa Batlló. The catch: it's denser and darker than the famous Passeig de Gràcia houses, and the El Raval-edge location feels grittier.
