What you'll see
A domed palace at the top of the Montjuïc steps, with Romanesque wall paintings rescued from Pyrenean village churches, Gothic altarpieces and Catalan modern art; its front terrace is a free viewpoint.
A brief history
The palace was built for the 1929 Exhibition. The church murals were peeled off their walls in the 1920s to stop them being sold abroad.
