Fossar de les Moreres. This low, marble monument stands in the open space along the eastern side of Santa Maria del Mar. It Honors those defenders of Barcelona who gave their lives in the 1714 siege that ended the War of the Spanish Succession and established Felipe V on the Spanish throne. The inscription - EN EL FOSSAR DE LES MORERES NO S'HI ENTERRA CAP TRAIDOR, or IN THE CEMETERY OF THE MULBERRY TREES NO TRAITOR LIES - refers to the story of the graveyard keeper who refuse to bury anyone who fought on the invalid side, even when one of them turned out to be his son. Museum: Museo Picasso - The Picasso Museum is across Carrer Montcada. This narrow street contains some of Barcelona's most elegant medieval palaces, of which the museum occupies from the 15th century. Picasso spent many of his formative years in Barcelona, including his Blue and Rose periods, and this collection one of the world's best is particularly strong on his early work rather than celebrated classics. Picasso Museum of Barcelona, opened in March 1963 was extended again in 1982 and is a joint medieval buildings such as: Palau Aguilar Carrer Montcada, 15, Palau Baro Castellet n.c.17, Palau Meca n.c. 19, Mauri House n.c 21 and Palau Finestrelles n.c. 23. Palau de la Música. - Palau de la musica Catalana - Orfeó Català, The Music Palace, is a flamboyant tour de force, designed by Domenèch i Montaner in 1908 and considered the flagship of Barcelona's Modernisme architecture. The tiny ticket booths in the richly embellished columns are, sadly, no longer in use. Try to attend a concert here, if only to see the interior, with its inverted, stained-glass cupola (Nightlife and the Arts, below). Modernist Architecture of Palau is high quality and originality and access is an exceptional ancient sculptural group representing "La cançó popolar catalana", the artist Miquel Blay. You will find them at the box office and selling prices for guided tours in several languages (Italian excluded at the time), the visit is a journey through the halls of Palau. No matter know other languages, just listen to music in a royal and magical at the same time
