Salvador Dali House Museum, Portlligat, Catalonia, Spain

Salvador Dali House Museum, looking over the bay with the islands Illa de Portlligat and Sa Farnera, in Portlligat, Cap de Creus, Cadaques, Catalonia, Spain. On the roof is Castor and Pollux, a large sculpture of 2 heads, one split. Salvador Dali, 1904-89, Spanish Surrealist painter, lived and worked here from 1930 to 1982, when his partner and muse Gala died. The building was originally several fisherman's cottages which the couple bought and developed, with windows overlooking the bay, a swimming pool and garden studio. The house became a museum in 1997, run by the Dali Foundation. Picture by Manuel Cohen
