Palau Güell stable in the building's basement are noteworthy for their brick columns with mushroom-shaped capitals and vaulted ceiling.
The stable originally contained individual horse stalls with mangers. The rooms of the coachman (who drove the horse-drawn carriages) and the stable boy were here too.
It was also used to store wood, coal and straw, and there was a well and a tank (for storing rainwater).
The basement also has a courtyard which airs the stable, where the horses were allowed out in the open air. Rainwater was collected here.
