Casas del Onyar

The Onyar façades reveal themselves from the bridges: each crossing changes reflections, colour and the relationship with the old town. These are homes rather than an empty backdrop. Look for Casa Masó and distinguish an outside view from a separately arranged visit. Pause without blocking pedestrians, then cross towards the Rambla for another perspective.

Plan this visit

From a bridge or from a home

Casa Masó offers a different way to view the river from inside one of its houses. We suggest first comparing the façades from a bridge, then deciding whether a preserved home interests you. These are complementary perspectives rather than two versions of the same photograph.

Book before improvising an entrance

The Foundation requires advance tickets for a guided visit, choosing day, time and language. If including it, arrange that booking first and keep the bridges walk as the flexible part of the day. Do not try to enter other riverside homes because they look open or photogenic: they remain private spaces.
