Fundación Rafael Masó Info and Reviews

Fantastic experience: We had the English tour. The guide was excellent. Funny, engaging, and super knowledgeable.

Positive experience: Rafael Masó's House. It was closed on Monday. So always check the opening hours. Definitely an architect (modernist) who left a mark.
Translated from Italiano

Fantastic experience: Great, Anna gave us a wonderful guided tour, explaining the entire history of the house, each detail is magnificent, highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Place to discover in the center of Girona. Guided tour in French very interesting. Numerous pieces of furniture designed by the architect Maso and made in Girona or Barcelona. Everything is in the detail and simplicity of the shapes. Entrance 10€ booking required.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Delighted by the visit to this beautiful family home renovated by Rafael Masó. Thank you Ana for your availability and enthusiasm!
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Albeit a bit difficult to discover, and you must buy tickets in advance - with only a few visiting slots a day - The Fundacio is a must visit in Girona. A design lovers dream, the Fundacio is the former family residence of the Maso family, Rafael being the most prominent Architect in Girona. The details are beautiful, with influences from Gaudi. From the ceramic tiles to the furniture design, the place is a hidden gem. Truly a feast for the eyes. What I loved about the place was simply how unexpected it was, I found the tickets with much searching of what to do in the area, yet there wasn’t much information online and all coverage / websites were quite outdated. However, I trusted my intuition and was exceptionally glad I did as not only was it informative but just such a gem of a place. If you like visiting places such as Casa Mila (in Barcelona) then you will enjoy this. The tour was given in both English and then also in Spanish / Catalonian (for those who needed).

More than that though, it offers an insight into how families lived and worked a century ago. Our tour was expertly guided by Anna, lasted about an hour and was great fun. Perfect for any day trip to Gerona.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: House-Museum, formed by the set of restored houses in modernist and noucentista style by the Girona architect Rafel Masó, is his birthplace and family home, featuring noucentista furniture, large stained glass windows, and much use of decorative ceramics, with its white facade and large balcony overlooking the river, which is part of the colorful houses by the Onyar River in Girona.
Translated from Catalan

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We went to the guided tour on August 16 (it is free as it celebrates its anniversary). The house has been kept in the hands of the family until it was ceded, and this has allowed it to be very well preserved. Complete explanations of the house, architecture, and the Masó family. Photo with views from the interior. It's worth it!

Fantastic experience: The Rafael Masó Foundation manages the Casa Masó in Girona, promotes the study of the work of Rafael Masó (1880-1935) and Novecentisme, and raises awareness about the importance of architecture for society and individuals. The catalogs of the exhibitions are one of the main channels for achieving this.

Translated from French

Fantastic experience: I really liked it, very recommendable noucentist style!!!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended visit to the house of a significant Noucentista architect. Very curious spaces, they serve to immerse yourself in past decades and see how people lived, especially in societies marked by the force of patriarchy.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: I could not have imagined what I saw and was explained during the guided tour. We walked through spaces designed and renovated over 110 years ago, perfectly preserved. It seemed like a gem as a whole to me, with remarkable particularities and singularities... stained glass, furniture, use of spaces... all in a street from medieval times and therefore with very clear dimensions and limitations. Highly recommend visiting. For many years!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Noucentista house in very good condition. Birthplace of the Girona architect Rafael Masó. Construction, furniture, tiles, decoration, and details make a very well-curated set that is worth visiting to see that Girona is much more than a medieval town, without wanting to underestimate that historical period.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Very good experience, good explanations from the guide. An essential visit.
Translated from Catalan

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Actually visited the whole place. Very authentic with many small shops. You feel transported to the Middle Ages.
Translated from Deutsch

Fantastic experience: Essential opening to learn about the work of the Girona architect.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: With the care of the former owners, relatives of the architect who gives name to the foundation, the building has preserved for decades the delicate details that today the visitor can contemplate directly, almost as if they were still in use or someone was waiting in the dining room, in the library, in the open gallery overlooking the Onyar. A testament to the taste and ideology of a Catalanist and conservative noucentisme, the renovation already has some of the characteristic features of Masó's architecture: the reclamation of ceramics on the surface, the chromatic discourse of light through the spaces, the brilliantly punctuated path by a staircase that organizes the parts of the program and solves a technical problem.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: It's a fantastic museum 'it's like a time capsule'. There you can enjoy the decorations from the era and travel back in time!!!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: To visit the houses, you must reserve in advance. Each house of the neocentrist architect Rafael Masó, he was responsible for the renovations and for designing every detail of some of the rooms. We miss explaining a bit more in depth about Masó's figure for those of us who didn't know much about his work, nevertheless, it's a very interesting visit.

Translated from French

Fantastic experience: It's like reliving a house from the early 20th century. Very well preserved, highly recommended visit.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Some instructions about Casa Masó: It is a really pretty place and definitely worth visiting!! However, you have to book in advance (at least one day) because the capacity is limited. It is very easy, on the website you get the email address and the response is really fast in a few hours. It was the home of the famous architect Masó from Girona. Around the train station, you can find quite a lot of his work! The tour is given in English, Spanish, and Catalan! Ticket is 4 euro.
