Museums

Palau de la Musica is a concert hall designed by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner between 1905 and 1908. It has been built for the Catalan orchestra Orfeó Català. 

Its design is a typical of Catalan modernism in that curves predominate over straight lines. Floral decoration and other organic motifs are used primarily. The facade is decorated with columns with multicolored glazed tile pieces and busts by Bach, Beethoven, Palestrina and Wagner.

The interior is decorated with green, pink, and yellow ceramic flowers, red carpert and golden lustres. The most impressioning room is the concert hall where more than 2 000 people can take place on three different levels.

Colored glass windows flanks the organ, the stage background is decorated with colored figures and on both sides of the stage are marble statues, works of local artists Didac Masana and Pau Gargallo. In 1997, the Palau de la Música Catalana was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
