About
The museum fills the Palau Nacional, the domed 1929 palace above the Magic Fountain on Montjuïc. Inside, whole apses of 11th- to 13th-century church frescoes are mounted in curved rooms, alongside Gothic altarpieces, Renaissance and baroque paintings, and modern Catalan work by Gaudí, Casas, and Dalí. Rooftop terraces open onto a long view down to Plaça d'Espanya.
