The Palace of Catalan Music is a concert hall in Barcelona, another outstanding work of the architect of the modernist Lewis Domenech-and-Monterey. This beautiful building was built between 1905 and 1908 for years and was for a choral society founded in 1891 and had a great cultural influence in Barcelona. The Music Palace is located in the Ribera district, its elegant, gorgeous and bright view, he clearly stands out among other seemingly mundane gray buildings. Today the Palace is part of UNESCO world heritage.
On the one hand, the building looks typical for the modernist, on the other hand is dominated by functional and rational methods and solutions. The facade of the building is striking décor, original motifs and forms, surprising combinations of materials and stylistic elements. In the rich decoration of the facade uses red brick, iron, mosaic, glazed tiles, stained glass. Striking beauty of execution sculptures and bas-reliefs, and busts of composers adorning the facade. Amazingly beautiful columns at the second floor level, each of which is covered by their multi-colored glazed tiles. Much used in the facade of the glass.
But the main asset of the Palace is its concert hall, which is considered one of the most beautiful not only in Europe but throughout the world. This is the only room in Europe, which until late at night illuminated only by natural light due to the fact that its walls are almost entirely composed of extremely beautiful arched stained glass Windows, and the roof of the room is a huge glass dome. Not to mention the excellent acoustics of the hall, which were appreciated by famous composers, conductors and musicians. The interior of the hall are decorated with beautiful sculptures and intricate carvings. All of it is stunning splendor gives the full right to be called the Palace of Catalan Music a true masterpiece of modernism.
