This peaceful old convent was
first opened to the public in 1983 and is now a museum of monastic life (the few remain-
ing nuns have moved into more modern neighbouring buildings).
The architectural highlight is the large, elegant, three-storey cloister, a jewel of Catalan
Gothic, built in the early 14th century. Following its course to the right, stop at the first
chapel, the Capella de Sant Miquel, whose murals were done in 1346 by Ferrer Bassá, one
of Catalonia's earliest documented painters.

Among Barcelona's most-visited sites is the massive

Club Barcelona. Football fans who aren't able to attend a game can get a taste of all the
excitement at the museum, with its multimedia exhibits, and a stadium tour.
