Beautiful space and balanced exhibitions. Fantastic one by Samuel Aranda.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Impressive the building. Dedicated to spreading culture, it has three floors. The least interesting is the last one, without any distinctive feature, while the rest, there is no waste. The ground floor, with the stables and the well and the noble floors with works that cannot be missed. Visit without excuse.
Translated from Catalan

A beautiful palace that hosts a huge exhibition of photographs by various artists. Personally, I highlight those of Catalan photographers like Colita, Miserachs, Francesc Català Roca, Joana Biarnés... highly recommended for photography and architecture lovers. Good service and the ticket price is very affordable.

Just like Can Mario, the Palau Solterra is part of the photography collection of the Vila Casas Foundation. The permanent collection is already worth a visit, and if it coincides with a prestigious temporary exhibition (as have been in recent years), it is almost mandatory to go.
