Palace of Catalan Music

Vicki had seen photos on postcards of the Palau de Musica

de la Catalan and we resolved to see it--only via tour and

no pix--the next day; of all Barcelona's sights, it was the

most impressive, not a Gaudi piece, although the same

vintage and very Modernista; interior (off the web);

surprisingly, the place seats more than 2,000; it feels far

more intimate

Incredible inverted ceiling dome

Even the coffee shoppe wasn't bad looking

Interior

Exterior view, facade; the building is so

hemmed-in, you can't see much of it from the

outside

More exterior

Plus, they treat Wagner very well
