Palau de la Música Catalana

Lluís Domènech i Montaner designed the concert hall for the choral society Orfeó Català, and it opened in 1908. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with Sant Pau. The main hall is topped by a large stained-glass skylight in the shape of an inverted dome, and sculpted figures spill out from the stage wall. The visit is a guided tour or a self-guided walk with a brochure, and it takes about 50 minutes.

What to look for

• The stained-glass skylight of the main hall
• The foyer with its mosaic columns and staircase
• The sculpted stage wall with the muses
• The tiled facade on Carrer de Sant Pere Més Alt

Opening hours

Visits run every day from 9:00 to 15:30. The hall is a working concert venue, so the route can change or be cancelled for rehearsals and events. The times shown can also change during booking.
