Museu-Monestir de Pedralbes
This peaceful old convent, founded in 1326 and now a museum of monastic life, stands at the top of Avinguda de Pedralbes in a divinely quiet corner of Barcelona. Displays are distributed in the cells around the elegant, three-storey cloister, a jewel of early 14th-century Catalan Gothic. Upstairs is a grand hall that was once the dormidor (sleeping quarters). It was lined by tiny night cells, but they were removed long ago. A modest collection of the monastery’s art, especially Gothic devotional works, and furniture grace this space today.
