Palau de Maricel

Interesting tie-ins to Sitges relatively recent history. Not a real palace, actually built by an American for a purpose that never really came to fruition. The building is stunning, and tours are offered in Catalon, Spanish, and English

We visited this museum, because my wife likes museum but I visited to capture good pictures 😊

What a lovely place. We had tried to visit here on previous stays in Sitges but were unlucky. This time we booked in our first week to be sure. The staff in the museum and our guide on the day, were helpful and friendly and couldn’t do enough to help you. Even though the tour was in Spanish, she took time in quieter moments to answer questions and speak to us in English. The building itself was spectacular particularly the upper terrace and cloisters. The views out to sea were breathtaking. The ceramics work (tiling) was beautiful and showed the skill of craftsmen in the past. Long May it continue to be used for local events here in Sitges. Thank you for a lovely visit.

It may not be an authentic medieval building since it was built at the beginning of the 20th century, but this whitewashed structure wows visitors and residents with charm, location and views. Scores of visitors stop to admire the building of this museum and to gaze at the Mediterranean Sea from the seaside esplanade that is in front. A few venture inside to see the art collection, but most just want to soak in the surroundings.

Beautiful palace, the outside is nice, but once you get in the spaces are even more beautiful. We had a guided tour, which is nice because then you know the stories behind certain things such as the little bridge between the two buildings. They save the best for last, the terrasses are really nice. Absolutely something you must see when you are in Sitges. Not sure if it is true, but the guide said it is maybe going to close because of reconstruction.

Very nice place, with an amazing terasa. The quality vs price was totally worth the 5 eur/pers entrance. It is an unique baroque style with antique furniture full of colorful tiles.

A must see when you’re in Sitges, this interesting early 20th century estate was built by American art collector and philanthropist, Charles Deering, to showcase his vast collection of Spanish art. Plan your visit in advance since it’s only accessible on a guided tour.

One of the major things to do (aside from going to the beach of course!) for those in Sitges. Their selection of art is pretty good, and there is also an app for Sitges Museums that gives self-guided audio tours through some of the exhibitions that I highly recommend. The museum complex does take student discounts, for those who are curious about that. To enter the house/palace, you have to pay for the guided tour, which lasts 50 minutes. I believe the English one is offered at 11 am, and the Castilian one at 1 pm. It has a stunning view of the ocean that in and of itself makes the tour worth it. For those who can't make the tour through the palace, I would still recommend the museums.
