Lonely Planet review

Within these centuries-old walls resides a mind-boggling collection of everyday items, art and medieval Spanish sculpture amassed by Frederic Marès i Deulovol (1893-1991), sculptor, traveller and hoarder extraordinaire. Have a snack in the shady courtyard café.

The top two floors hold a mind-boggling array of knick-knacks, from toy soldiers and cribs to scissors and 19th-century playing cards, from early still cameras to pipes, from fine ceramics to a room that once served as Marès' study and library, but is now crammed with sculpture. The shady courtyard houses a pleasant cafè.
