<p>Museu d'Art de Cerdanyola del Vallès</p>

The history books chart the profound transformation that Catalonia – and, in particular, the regions of Barcelona – underwent at the turn of the 20th century, when all areas of life were turned upside down: art, literature, architecture, public space, the economy... In fact, there’s no better way to gain an understanding of the era than by visiting its architectural gems. Catalan modernism represents a time when a series of families set out to be modern and flaunt it.

<p>Magna Celebratio</p>

What was Badalona like over two thousand years ago? The Romans founded the city as Baetulo and for several centuries it rivalled the neighbouring Barcino in importance. Join us on a stroll to discover a city of antiquity.

<p>Abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat</p>

Do you need to get away from the stress of daily life and reconnect with yourself? Visit the monasteries and sanctuaries of the regions of Barcelona and immerse yourself in total peace and silence. Spend some time in these beautiful buildings, filled with works of art and surrounded by unique landscapes, and your energy levels will be soaring. Welcome to sacred territory!
