The Palau de la Música is a little known treasure of humanity. It is located in the heart of the Born district and is one of the most emblematic sites of Catalan Modernism. It has been a privilege to learn about its history and about the genius of the architect Domenech i Muntaner from one of the best guides I have found (Axel) who told us the secrets of the Palau with great enthusiasm and humor.

A spectacular visit, in my opinion the most magnificent modernist building in Barcelona. The guide, a very kind and cultured man, explained everything in great detail. A fascinating experience. I recommend it more than any of the modernist houses.

Beautiful palace. Impressive in size and decoration. You feel transported to another era, yet it exudes modernism (lighting, acoustics, layout). A pleasant visit (a little expensive) though a little short. We would have liked to visit the dressing rooms on the 1st level. We were able to listen to the organ for 5 minutes, which was great!

    Amazing place in the art nouveau style. When we were there a choir was rehearsing and so was magical. The guide was enthusiastic and brought it alive
