Palau de la Música Catalana – Barcelona, Spain
The Palau de la Música Catalana (Palace of Catalan Music) is a significant theater not only because of its design, but because of the cultural movement that this theater represents.
It was built in 1908 for the Orfeó Català, a choral society that was one of the most significant organizations in the resurgence of Catalan culture that took place in Spain in the late 19th century. It was restored in the 1980s, and now hosts regular performances of music from traditional to jazz.
