5 Gaudí Exhibition Center in Ciutat Vella District in Barcelona, Spain

Most people visiting Cathedral Square are fascinated by the Cathedral’s Gothic façade. But look to your left at the Gaudí Exhibition Center. This site has a greater history, starting with the Romans in the 1st century BC. It was also an Augustinian monastery called the Charity House or La Canonja from the 10th century until 1400. Most of the current structure from the 14th century was the new House of Charity. Its formal name is Pia Almoina meaning devout charity. Inside is the Diocesan Museum of Barcelona displaying religious art and artifacts dating back to the Middle Ages. There are also exhibits about Antoni Gaudí. Another place to experience the works and life of the city’s famous architect is at the Gaudí House Museum in Park Güell.
