Palau Robert is another cultural center run by the Catalan government. Not only the various exhibitions and other activities in this house are inviting but also the building itself. The neoclassical style of Palau Robert incites architecture enthusiasts and laymen likewise. Who needs some time out from the shopping and culture marathon along Passeig de Gracia can ease off in the leafy garden in the back yard. Eventhough it’s located right in the middle of the city hustle between Diagonal and Passeig de Gracia it is an island of silence and the perfect spot to ease off from the rush of the center for a little while.
