The palace can be visited either on the day of the concert or during one of the organized visits that take place every day. The cost of the tour is 18 euros, the duration is about 1 hour. The schedule of excursions on the site does not coincide with reality, so it’s better to come up and buy a ticket for the next excursion on the spot.
The concert hall was built by the architect Luis Domè nech i Montaner for the choral society of Catalan music "Orfeo Catala". At the beginning of the tour, a short film about the history of the Palace is shown. Then the guide takes the group for a walk through this true masterpiece of modernism.
The pearl of the Palace is its concert hall. It accommodates 2200 people. This is the only hall in Europe, which, during daylight hours, is completely lit by natural light. Also, the concert hall of the Palace is famous for its excellent acoustics.
The ceiling in the hall is an inverted dome made of colored glass mosaics. The colors of the mosaic are chosen in such a way that the viewers have the effect of being under the open sky. In the center of the dome, the golden mosaic represents the Sun, while the blue hues used around it represent the sky. The walls of the hall also consist of stained glass windows.
