El Palau de la Música I

Posted by Yolanda (Barcelona, Spain) on 11 February 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Opened on February 9th 1908, the Palau de la Música Catalana is one of the most representative buildings of Catalan Modernist style. Built between 1905 and 1908 by the architect, Lluís Domènech i Montaner, as a headquarters for the Orfeó Català and funded by popular donations, it constitutes a symbolic and sentimental heritage of an entire city that identifies with its history. In addition, the Concert Hall - one of the most unique ones in the world - has been the privileged stage for the national and international concert life of the city of Barcelona for one hundred years.
