«Palaus Singulars» Series
This summer, Barcelona invites you to cross doors that usually go unnoticed. The «Palaus Singulars» series offers a tour of some of the city's most fascinating historic buildings, spaces where the architecture, art and stories of their former residents remain present among grand halls, courtyards and monumental staircases.
About this event
From June to September, guided visits offer the chance to discover four unique sites with very different identities. Palau Rocamora opens the doors of the former residence of collector Manuel Rocamora, a place full of artworks, clothing, ceramics and curiosities that reflect a whole life devoted to collecting. Palauet Casades, the current headquarters of the Ilustre Colegio de la Abogacía de Barcelona, reveals the elegance of a stately home linked to the city's legal and social development.
The route continues at Palau Baró de Quadras, one of the great Modernista works by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, where decorative richness and architectural symbolism turn every room into a surprise. The tour culminates at Palau Savassona, home of the Ateneu Barcelonès, a space closely linked to Barcelona's intellectual and cultural life for generations.
Beyond the heritage visit, «Palaus Singulars» offers the opportunity to discover a less visible Barcelona, made up of private histories, extraordinary collections and buildings that have survived the passage of time while preserving their character intact. A different way to explore the city and be surprised by some of its best-kept secrets.
