Audio Guide of Quan Cong Temple

The palace is open Monday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Guided tours begin every 30 minutes. I recommend checking the official website to confirm special or holiday hours: www.palaumusica.cat

Tickets for the guided tour cost €18 for adults and €10 for students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased online through the official website or at the ticket office. Self-guided tours have different prices. I recommend buying online to secure your spot: www.palaumusica.cat

The guided tour lasts approximately 50 minutes. If you also want to see the permanent exhibition and the shop, allow between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes. Self-guided tours are more flexible, and you can take your time.

It was designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner in 1908 as the headquarters of the Orfeó Català. It is the only Art Nouveau building still in use that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its façade and the spectacular auditorium with its great stained-glass skylight are truly impressive.

Weekday mornings are less crowded than weekends. The best time of year is April to May or September to October, avoiding the summer. The natural morning light enhances the colors of the auditorium’s stained glass and mosaics.

Yes, the building has an elevator and is wheelchair accessible. However, some historic areas may have limitations. I recommend informing the ticket office staff in advance so they can guide you along the most suitable routes.

It is in the Eixample district, near the Art Nouveau Site of Sant Pau and Gaudí Avenue. You can also visit Gaudí’s Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, both about a 15-minute walk away. La Boqueria market and the Gothic Quarter are also nearby.

Arrive 15 minutes before your guided tour reservation. Don’t forget your camera for photos of the auditorium, but without flash. If you buy tickets online, bring the QR code on your phone or printed out. There is a ticket office at the entrance and a small space for storing backpacks.
