Bellesguard in Barcelona was designed by Antoni Gaudí, assisted by Joan Rubió, and Domènec Sugrañes i Gras made the mosaics. Jaume Figueras and his wife, María Sagués, were the clients. Figueras died before construction finished, and his wife oversaw the rest. The text gives 1900 to 1909, and the infobox lists only a heritage designation of July 24, 1969. The article gives the wife's surname both as Sagués and Molíns.
The article calls the style Modernisme with a largely neogothic facade. It is mainly stone and brick, with a stone slate exterior. The base is a 15 by 15 meter square and the height is 19.5 m. The area figure is given as 900 without a unit.
The Guilera family bought it in 1944 and planned a hospital, which operated until 1974. It has been a private home since then, and public tours began in September 2013. The article gives no hours or ticket prices.
