The Fortuny Palace Museum is housed in a Gothic palace built in the mid-15th century, which has undergone many refurbishments over the years. The palace takes its name from the Spanish designer Mariano Fortuny, who decided in 1898 to restore the building to open his atelier. His atelier has been turned over time into a cultural centre dedicated to painting, sculpture, lighting, photography and clothing.
