Museums and Art Treasures

This collection spans Catalonia’s artistic evolution, from the medieval Gothic architecture of the Grand Royal Palace to the surrealist masterpieces of Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró. It features the complete 'Dalí Triangle'—the Theatre-Museum in Figueres, his home in Portlligat, and the Castle of Púbol. Modernist landmarks include Gaudí’s Casa Batlló and Nau Gaudí, the architect's first industrial project. Specialized institutions like Girona’s Jewish History Museum and the Cinema Museum offer focused insights into regional heritage and the history of moving images.
