Do you want to know more about the art world in Catalonia? A land rich in history and cultural diversity that offers us a great artistic legacy that reviews the entire history of art.

But also of the splendor that the Gothic style had in Catalonia and that left us magnificent works, such as the tomb of Queen Elisenda de Montcada or the altarpiece of the Virgen dels Consellers and many other altarpieces that can also be admired in churches and museums of our land.
And of course, without forgetting the most contemporary art, where works by Joan Miró or Picasso share spaces in museums and streets with other international artists such as Roy Lichtenstein.
