This week’s word challenge is “ornate.” The word made me thing immediately of Barcelona‘s beautiful –and very ornate– concert hall, the Palau de La Música Catalana. The Palau was designed in the Catalan modernista style by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, and built between 1905 and 1908. It is quite stunning and I only regret not having had time to attend a concert in that magnificent venue.

Stunning gallery!!! I can imagine myself situated in the middle and staring at the ceiling and admiring the intricate designs.
It is an awesome space. And with fantastic acoustics. I have to go back for a concert!

So excited looking at this! I’m in Barcelona for my birthday in November and I had this on the list already. It looks superb. Many thanks for following and sorry I’m slow to get here.
You will love Barcelona. The Palau and the Sagrada Familia are my favorites but there’s just so much more to see in the city. A photographer’s paradise. Enjoy!
