In the 1980s, the Palau de la Música Catalana was remodeled and modernized under the direction of architect Óscar Tusquets, without losing its original charm. It is worth immersing yourself in its "musical garden" and being enchanted by the wealth of detail in this extraordinary building.
Money for the construction came from donations from wealthy merchants and industrialists, and none other than the star architect Domènech i Montaner was hired.Ĭonstruction began in 1905 and the inauguration in 1908.Īccording to Lluís Domènech i Montaner, the Palau de la Música Catalana should be a "garden for music". They wanted to create a special setting for their own performances and those of other artists. The "Orfeó Català", an amateur music society founded in 1891, was very popular in Barcelona around the turn of the century. At that time he was the most renowned architect in Barcelona. The architect of the Palau de la Música was Lluís Domènech i Montaner, the founder and one of the most important representatives of Modernisme.
