This is the national museum of Catalan visual art (it focuses focuses on Catalan art from all around the region) and also a great spot to spend an afternoon away from the noise city’s noise.The inside of the building is just as impressive as the outside. The museum is housed in the Palau Nacional, a huge, Italian-style building built in 1929. Visitors will be impressed with one of the best collections of Romanesque mural painting in the world and the most representative artists of Catalan Modernism, such as Gaudí or Casas. They can also enjoy great European Renaissance and Baroque painters (such as Tiziano and Velázquez), Gothic art etc.
