Palau de la Musica Catalana & Hospital de Sant Pau
Ming_9734 Taiwan - 30-Mar-25

The Palau de la Música Catalana, built between 1905 and 1908, is a masterpiece of Catalan Modernism and Art Nouveau. It is the crowning achievement of the renowned architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. Due to its contributions to architecture, music, and culture, it was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List, along with the architect's other notable work, the Hospital de Sant Pau. It is also the only concert hall in the world to be listed as a World Heritage site.
The Palau de la Música Catalana was funded by the Orfeó Català, a Catalan choir, and designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, one of the three great architects of Barcelona. The design fully embodies the Modernist style of Barcelona, incorporating an abundance of colorful stained glass mosaics, ceramic tiles, wrought-iron art, and intricate sculptures. The building cleverly utilizes natural light and natural imagery. Compared to the more famous works of Antoni Gaudí, Domènech’s style focuses more on the use of mosaics rather than curving, irregular lines
