The Dali Triangle (Figueres/Cadaquès/Púbol)
The great artist Salvador Dalí is the motivation behind the Dalí triangle: the Dalí Theatre-Museum of Figueres, which the artist had installed in the old municipal theatre of Figueres, where it is possible to see the most extensive range of Salvador Dalí’s work, from his first artistic experiments and surrealist creations to works from the last years of his life; the House-Museum of Portlligat, in the village of Cadaqués, the only permanent home of the Empordian. It was where he lived and worked until the death of Gala in 1982, when he changed his residence to the Castell Gala Dalí de Púbol, a space that the artist transformed into a mausoleum to his muse.
