Potlligat

Salvador Dalí´s House-Museum
With the outbreak of the Civil War, Dalí and Gala moved to the United States and did not return to Portlligat until the end of 1948. In that year, the Dalís bought another hut, also measuring around twenty-two square metres; which in 1949 was converted into the current Library and Living Room and apiece of land that forms part of the olive grove. By 1949 the house was habitable. Gala was in charge of decorating the house and bought furniture from various second-hand dealers in Olot and La Bisbal.From 1949 the building grew to meet Dalí's needs. Another three huts joined the existing set. The new studio (the current and definitive one) was built and reached its completion in 1950. In 1951, with a half-done kitchen they stated to buildthe Bedroom over the Library, and in 1952 the other service areas. The building of the Pigeon Loft was completed in 1954, and during the following year the couple purchased the "Clock Hut", which was left as it was until the current remodelling converted it into the Left-Luggage Office for the House-Museum.
