Show the style

Art Nouveau · chronological order 10

An Art Nouveau concert hall built in Barcelona by Lluís Domènech i Montaner between 1905 and 1908 for the Orfeó Català, a working people’s choral society. He covered it inside and out with mosaic, stained glass and polychrome ceramic, and made it one of the very few auditoriums in the world lit partly by daylight, through a central skylight of coloured glass shaped like an upside-down drop. A World Heritage Site since 1997.
