Palau Reial de Pedralbes
-
This majestic palace, once the main Residence of Count Eusebi Güell, was donated by the count to the Spanish royal family in 1919. Open to the public since 1937, the palace now houses the Museu de Ceràmica and the Museu de les Arts Decoratives. The former has a fine collection of Catalan and Moorish ceramics, including works by Miró and Picasso; the latter has period furniture plus a number of artifacts dating from the Middle Ages to the present day. The magnificent gardens include stands of bamboo, a fountain designed by Gaudí and some particularly pleasant strolls.
