A masterpiece of Catalan Modernisme built between 1905 and 1908 by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner for the Orfeó Català choral society. Its auditorium is the only concert hall in Europe lit entirely by natural daylight during daytime, thanks to an inverted stained-glass dome resembling a golden sun. The exterior boasts colorful mosaics and sculptures, while the interior dazzles with floral ironwork, tiles, and carved muses.

- UNESCO World Heritage Modernisme masterpiece
- Sculpted muses framing the concert stage
