Museu del Cau Ferrat

What a beautiful house with a stunning collection. I loved the tiles and colours of the house itself too. Definitely a nice thing to do when visiting Sitges. Paid entry is for two museums and access to somewhere else but that place was only open on a Sunday so we couldn't use that free entry.

The museum includes Cau Ferrat and Museu de Maricel; they are connected. Palau de Maricel is separate, has different opening times, and is not included with Cau Ferrat. Cau Ferrat is the house of Santiago Rusiñol, a Modernist painter and writer. The building combines two former fishermen’s houses, renovated to house his art collection. Rusiñol turned into his artistic retreat and a gathering place for intellectuals and artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Palau de Maricel was built in 1918 by architect Miquel Utrillo for the American collector Charles Deering. Originally a group of fishermen’s houses, the structure was transformed into a grand residence blending Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements. Its design includes cloistered courtyards, arched galleries, and intricate stonework.

There’s not enough stars to rate this museum and experience. It is a hidden gem that I love to return to. Tickets can be purchased on site ajd for the experience, the entrance fee is next to nothing. It was a surprise to view such an incredible array of artwork in the little seaside town of Sitges.

Such a cute museum! Wonderful collection and atmosphere. This is the former home and studio of the Catalan artist Santiago Rusiñol. Ooh, and the ceramics and tiles! I highly recommend the nice surprise of discovering such a beautiful museum in such a small town.

A beautiful building housing amazing works. Definitely worth a visit.

Great museum. Beautiful art, it gives a glimpse of Sitges’s history

A pleasant surprise, well curated in a wonderful setting. Must see!

The museum is free the first Wednesday of every month. There are a lot of different forms of art. My favorite part of the museum was all the handpainted tiles that were used to decorate the studio. You only need about an hour to visit.

Enjoyed the museum experience, they had excellent exhibits in the multilevel museum. It's sits on the edge of the of the cliff overlooking Mediterranean, just plain gorgeous.
