Palau de Dalmases


Scholarly groups of Catalan aristocracy used to gather in this baroque palace, which is today immersed in the fun and flamboyancy of flamenco dancing.

The Palau de Dalmases is a historic palace that comes alive with flamenco shows and jazz concerts. This popular venue provides a stylish background to an evening of wine and cocktails. Make your way through the courtyard and halls of this palace to bask in its splendor.

Stroll along the historic Calle Montcada and admire the baroque and crumbling façades. Dating back to the 1300s, the front of the palace is very striking. Enter the building and marvel at the array of opulent gems installed by affluent trader Pau Ignasi Dalmases, who inhabited the palace for 15 years at the end of the 17th century.

Notice the imposing columns near the main staircase, which is notable for its mural portraying Neptune’s Chariot. Appreciate the resplendent aesthetic of the courtyard.

In the theater area, see how flamenco dancers grace the stage, backed by guitarists playing traditional music. Watch a majestic operatic performance on any Thursday. Attend the free jazz concert that takes place late in the evening on Wednesdays. The theater puts on a broad program of shows, from Spanish guitar to classical recitals.

Consider the intriguing history of this building, which was the gathering point for the Academy of Desconfiats. These scholars studied culture and philosophy in this sophisticated setting.

Flamenco performances are usually held three times per night. Visit the Palau Dalmases official website to check the schedule for shows. Purchase tickets online or at the door. Buy in advance to ensure you get a space.

The Palau de Dalmases is in the Gothic Quarter in the historic center at the heart of Barcelona. Get off the metro at the Jaume I station and walk northeast for a few minutes to reach the palace. While here, check out other nearby treasures such as the Museu Picasso de Barcelona, the Basilica de Santa María del Mar and the Plaça del Rei.
