"Ciudad De Dali" Figueres by ozalp

Figueres Travel Guide: 129 reviews and 442 photos

Day Trip From Barca

Our guide in this trip was really informative, so we decided to join this day trip with her. She is an architect and well-informed in art history. I enjoyed the anecdotes that she told.
As seen in the photo, the building has a tower with many egg-liked figures on it. Also the yellow dots are bread. Also there are many Oscar figures in action on the walls.

Symbols

As our guide told us ants, open drawers, egg and bread are all symbols in his work. Bread is life, ants are fear and work, etc.
