Inaugurated in 1904, this Modernista observatory is still a functioning sci-
entific foundation. It can be visited on certain evenings to allow people to observe the
stars through its grand old telescope. Visits, generally in Catalan or Spanish (Castilian)
have to be booked. From mid-June to mid-September, an option is to join in for the
nightly Sopars amb Estrelles (Dinner under the Stars). The easiest way here is by taxi.
