About this event

EVENT: VISIT TO THE PALACIO DEL MARQUÉS DE DOS AGUAS & NATIONAL CERAMICS MUSEUM


Widely considered the finest example of Rococo architecture in Spain, this 18th-century palace was the ancestral home of the Rabassa de Perellós family. Its most iconic feature is the massive alabaster façade, depicting two flowing rivers (the "Two Waters" or Dos Aguas of the family title). Inside, the building houses the National Museum of Ceramics, featuring the largest collection of its kind in Spain with pieces ranging from prehistoric times to designs by Picasso.
