The Palau Nacional crowning Montjuïc holds one of Europe's finest collections of Romanesque art — entire church apses transplanted intact — alongside Gothic, Renaissance, and Modernista galleries. The building itself is a spectacle, and the terrace offers one of the best free views of the city's skyline and the Plaça d'Espanya fountains below. Sunday afternoons are free for EU residents. It's genuinely undervisited compared to its quality, making it a local favorite.
