Palau de la Música Catalana: icon of the cultural and social life of Catalonia.

Emblem of Catalan modernism and icon of Barcelona, the Palau de la Música Catalana was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. An imposing concert hall, designed by architect Lluis Domènech i Muntaner, where music legends such as Igor Stravinsky and Richard Strauss have performed.

Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site: the largest modernist complex in the world.

This is one of Barcelona’s architectural jewels, and no wonder. The imposing Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site – the work of the modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner – was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. A unique space known for its tiles, domes, mosaics and gardens, it hosts a unique musical event: Candlelight.

Sant Francesc de Sales Parish: neo-gothic beauty

Built in the 19th century, the parish church Sant Francesc de Sales is one of the most beautiful neo-Gothic examples in Barcelona. An elegant building that was part of the order of the Visitation of Santa Maria and is considered the most important work of the Catalan architect Joan Martorell i Montells.

Basilica Santa Maria del Pi: a jewel of Gothic style

The impressive Basilica of Santa Maria del Pi is located in one of the most interesting historical and cultural neighborhoods of Barcelona: the Gothic Quarter. Built during the 14th century, this temple contains the largest rose window of all the churches in Barcelona and a beautiful main vault that, now, will be illuminated with hundreds of candles thanks to Candlelight.

Real Círculo Artístico de Barcelona: promoter of culture par excellence

Since 1881, the Royal Artistic Circle of Barcelona has been the preferred meeting place for Catalan artists. Preserving its classical atmosphere, it is located in the Pignatelli Palace and Casa Bassols, two authentic architectural jewels of the sixteenth century renovated in the early nineteenth century by Josep Fontserè i Domènech, and for the last time in 2014. A great opportunity to see it by candlelight while listening to the best live music.

Paraninfo of the University of Barcelona: social and emblematic core of the institution.

The Paraninfo Hall is a beautiful space where the most solemn events of the University of Barcelona are held. It is located in the center of this historic institution, joining the Arts Building and the Science Building, and just above the main hall. It integrates sculptures, paintings, Mudejar ornamentation and other architectural elements worth seeing.

The talent of the musicians and the exquisite repertoire – ranging from soundtracks to the latest pop hits – combine with the solemnity of the magical locations.
