Sitges

SITGES
Sitges is an attractive cosmopolitan town with a rich heritage, having attracted painters, writers and other artists. Sitges was a former wine town that had trade links with America. Sitges prospered in the 19th century with the so-called americanos, local people who had found fortune abroad and came home to retire mansions and magnificent summer houses.

This house built in 1793 was given to the town as a museum of family life. On the top floor, there is a large collection of dolls amassed by local children’s comewriter Lola Anglada.
 * MUSEU ROMÀNTIC**

This palace was built in 1910 by an American philanthropist called Charles Deering to house his art collection. Charles Deering also bought the 14th century building opposite the Palace, which used to be a hospital. The palace was connected to the hospital by a passageway. The neighbouring building is home to the Museu Caus Ferrat, home of the painter Santiago Rusiñol. Nowadays you can see his personal collection, which includes two El Grecos, five Picassos and works by his friend Ramon Casas. The building is beautiful itself with a unforgettable view of the blue Mediterranean sea. http://www.gaudiallgaudi.com/AA910.htm
