Palau de Pedralbes - Designed by Gaudí for one of his major patrons, Eusebi Güell, this Italianate-style palace was officially opened by King Alfonso XIII in 1926.
It now belongs to Barcelona’s Town Hall who rent it out for special social or business functions. You can visit the beautifully landscaped formal gardens and two museums that take up one wing of the palace: 

• Museu de Ceràmica - Palau Reial de Pedralbes, Avinguda, 686, has one of the most impressive collections of medieval ceramics in Europe, plus contemporary pieces by Miró and Picasso.
• Museu d’Arts Decoratives - Features Spanish blown glass, period furniture and pocket watches from the 16th century.
