Palau de la Música Catalana (Music Palace) is one of the world's most extraordinary music halls, with facades that are a riot of color and form. From its polychrome ceramic ticket windows to its overhead busts of Palestrina, Bach, Beethoven, and Wagner, the Palau is a flamboyant Barcelona landmark. Constructed between 1906 and 1909 by the Catalan architect Lluis Domènech i Montaner, this Modernista building was restored between 1983 and 1989 by the architect and designer Óscar Tusquets, and in 1997 it was designated a World Heritage Site.
