In the 14th century Carrer Montcada was one of the most elite streets of Barcelona where the aristocrats lived, and today, is still one of the most beautiful in Barcelona. The palaces that line the street are still in as perfect condition as when inhabited by their 14th century owners. The Museu Picasso of Barcelona is housed in one of these gracious palaces. The development of the artist's monumental talent can be traced here from the light-hearted caricatures he made of his teachers to his studies of anatomy as an art student. His early paintings on display, though obviously influenced by Goya, El Greco and Velazquez reflect the unusual vitality rendered in all his works.

Even you are not an art enthusiast, it would be grave mistake to miss Barcelona's Museu Picasso during your visit to Barcelona city. Before you go, remember to look a the great selection of Barcelona hotels to book your accommodation.
