The Chalet del Catllaràs, located at an elevation of 1500 meters in the Berguedà region of northeastern Spain, has been identified through a scientific study as a creation of renowned architect Antoni Gaudí, who is celebrated for his modernist designs. Although local residents had believed in this attribution for years, official confirmation from Galdric Santana of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia has recently put an end to the speculation surrounding the chalet's origins. The findings were announced in the context of the 'Year Gaudí' celebrations, which aim to highlight the architect's contributions to Catalan culture.

Situated near the municipality of Pobla de Lillet in Barcelona, the chalet was constructed between 1901 and 1908, adding to Gaudí's legacy. Santana's research indicates that while Gaudí did not supervise the actual building process, his creative influence can be distinctly recognized. The chalet's unique design and aesthetics, branded as having 'perfect geometry,' reflect typical characteristics of Gaudí's style, which often merges nature and architecture seamlessly.

The confirmation of the chalet's design comes with implications for heritage tourism in the area, as visitors may now be more inclined to explore this scenic and architecturally significant site. Speculation about Gaudí's role in the chalet has fueled community interest and pride and adds a renewed focus on exploring the influences and works of this iconic architect beyond his most famous projects. The recognition of Chalet del Catllaràs may encourage further research into lesser-known structures that bear Gaudí's characteristic touch.
