Palace of Catalan Music, Barcelona


Located in the center of Barcelona, Palace of Catalan Music is a magnificent concert hall designed by the Catalan architect Lluis Domenech I Montaner. It was built between 1905 and 1908. The concert seats about 2,200 people, and is the only auditorium in Europe that is illuminated during daylight hours entirely by natural light. The walls consist of stained-glass panes set in magnificent arches, and the ceiling is a stained glass designed by Antoni Rigalt whose centerpiece is an inverted dome in shades of gold surrounded by blue that suggests the sun and sky.

It's one of my favorite shot from Barcelona, and I have it printed as postcard. If you want a free postcard, send me an email (linkahwai@hotmail.com) with your mailing address:)
