Casa Lis : info and guided tour

Introduction to Casa Lis

Casa Lis is one of the most distinctive places in Salamanca. Located on the banks of the Tormes, at 14 Gibraltar Street, this modernist mansion is now home to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco Museum. Its facade facing the city stands out for its elegant and luminous structure, very different from the neighboring historic heritage.

The building owes its renown to its late 19th-century architecture and to the contrast between its restrained exterior and the abundant decorative richness of its interior spaces. The large glass roofs, wrought ironwork, and curved lines reflect the modernist aesthetic, while natural light highlights the volumes and decorative details.

Casa Lis is best known for the collections it houses, dedicated to the decorative arts of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. Visitors can discover pieces of glass, porcelain, jewelry, dolls, and collectibles that illustrate a taste for elegance, color, and refinement.

The visit also makes it possible to admire the quality of the museum display, designed to interact with the architecture of the house. Casa Lis has become an iconic address in Salamanca for its strong artistic identity, intimate atmosphere, and special place in the city’s cultural landscape.
