What does the visit include?
The accessible visit offers a tour adapted for people who are blind or partially sighted, as well as for deaf visitors.
The tour includes the main spaces of the Palau de la Música Catalana.
The Palau façade
The Palau’s intricate façade features a wealth of allegorical figures, sculptures and architectural elements characteristic of Catalan modernism.
On the first floor, a balcony runs along the façade, supported by fourteen paired columns decorated with mosaic, each with a unique design. On the second floor are busts of musicians by Eusebi Arnau: from left to right, Palestrina, Bach and Beethoven; beyond the sculptural group on the corner stands the bust of Wagner, now located on Carrer d’Amadeu Vives. The façade is crowned by a large mosaic pediment by Lluís Bru.
At the corner, the sculptural group La cançó popular catalana by Miquel Blay depicts Saint George beneath a central female figure, an allegory of music, surrounded by characters representing a sailor, peasants, an elderly man and children.
Concert Hall
This century-old hall has hosted some of Barcelona’s most important musical events throughout its history.
Dominated by the organ above the stage and crowned with a central skylight representing the sun, the hall is filled with natural light.
Both mystical and striking, it is rich in figures and symbolic detail: the muses surrounding the stage, Wagner’s Valkyries emerging from the ceiling, a bust of Anselm Clavé on one side and one of Beethoven on the other, alongside elements drawn from nature such as flowers, palm trees and fruit.
Lluís Millet Hall
The grand hall, dedicated to the founder of the Orfeó Català, is adorned with beautiful stained glass and opens to a balcony richly decorated with mosaics.
Palau Foyer
Now home to a café-restaurant, this space retains striking architectural features, including brick arches decorated with ceramic detailing.
