The Paseo de Gracia and the Rambla de Catalunya became the favourite areas of the Barcelona bourgeoisie. Amzing buildings appears in this area: "La Pedrera" or Milà House, the Batlló House, the Lleó i Morera House, the Amatller House, etc

The Palau Robert is a neo-classical palace, something strange at that moment, when all buildings in this area where built with Modernist style. Its gardens were designed by the same municipal gardener who was later to build those of Catalunya Square.

Today, the building is the house of many exhibitions, publications, events and activities that helps visitors to get to know Catalonia.
