One of the most striking palaces along Carrer Montcada dates from the 16th century and once housed the Academy of Sceptics, before becoming the seat of the Academy of Arts, where the great and good would gather to think great thoughts and enjoy concerts.
Today the palaces houses one of the most beautiful and well, pretentious bars in Barcelona, the Espai Baroque, filled with antiques, mirrors and dripping candles galore...along with flamenco performances nightly.
