Couldn‘t have chosen a better memento of my visit to the Palau (and Barcelona in general) than this one🙂‍↕️

The information provided at the very beginning will definitely intrigue you to continue turning page after page, which in turn will seamlessly transform into beautiful pictures of the Palau as you continue your journey

Quite happy about the fact that I will be able to, at least partially, relive the moments I had spent in this absolutely beautiful and breathtaking place, imagining the lingering sound of music✨

Spectacular photos of a spectacular concert hall and performing art center in Barcelona. Amazing sculpture, tile work plus high-relief sculpture busts rising from the tile work. Plus amazing stained glass! Very cool little book. Might be worth a trip to Barcelona just to see this place.....

OK, assuming that, like me, you'd never heard of the place:

Very glad I picked up this book after visiting the Palau. Answers many questions I had about the building and it's history, and has photos of parts of the building visitors cannot see due to the tight streets around it.

Beautiful photos, high-quality printing.
Perfect to take home as a memory, especially useful as we cannot take photos inside the Palau (at least when I visited).
