The museum houses a permanent collection of 125 paintings by Maestro Palmero, which revolve around various scenes in the masterpiece by the author Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote.
The pictorial background of the palmero series
Visits to the Palmero Museum are interesting for two reasons: they let you discover this former 15th century farmhouse, a protected building, and to enjoy an interesting pictorial background, works by the Palermo series of painters , who still live in the building. Its interior features a life sized fresco mural which represents the birth of the shield of Catalonia, with Guifré el Pilós painting the four bars of blood from the mortal wound. You can also visit the ancient cave where, according to the legend, the bandit Joan de Serrallonga hid, and it is believed that it connected with Collserola. The farmhouse, known as Can Figuerola, also preserves original furniture of the time, as well as ceramic objects and some pieces of religious art.
A farmhouse of the 15th century
The farmhouse which today houses the museum, restored by the Palmero family, preserves the stone facade with windows of Gothic inspiration. Located beside apartment blocks in Carrer de Judea, it stands out as a reminder of a rural past.
