 museum, listed building / architectural heritage
The Brunet Palace (Palacio Brunet) was built in 1812 by Mariano Borrell, head of the wealthy Borrell family. It takes its name from Count Nicholás de la Cruz y Brunet, the husband of Borrell's daughter who inherited the house on Borrell's death. It now houses the Romantic Museum (Museo Romántico), mostly displaying objects that belonged to the Borrell family. The house has a central balustraded courtyard, and still features the original marble floor, frescoes, and neoclassical decoration. In the kitchen the original painted earthenware tiles can still be seen.
