2023: Domènech i Montaner Year
2023 marks the centenary of the death of Lluís Domènech i Montaner. A leading practitioner of 19th-century Catalan Art Nouveau, he was a versatile person with many more aspects to his work than architecture.
On the occasion of this centenary, we encourage you to learn more about this universal man who brought Catalonia to the world.
Domènech i Montaner Year is a great cultural festival with all kinds of events celebrating the architect’s work in two stunning venues: the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site and the Palau de la Música Catalana.
Come and enjoy the tribute to one of the fathers of Catalan Art Nouveau.

Historical reconstruction visits
Architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner is your host and guides you on these tours of the site where besides exploring his work you’ll also learn about little-known aspects of his life. A fun fact is that whenever he took the train from Barcelona to Canet de Mar where his mother’s family was from, he always travelled in second class so as not to meet anyone he knew which meant he could use the journey time to do some work.
When: autumn 2023
24 September: Free admission day
You can visit the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site free of charge. Besides enjoying your visit, you can also take part in a range of activities about the life of the architect and the history of the site.
