Maricel Museum

Maricel Museum is an art museum in Sitges displaying works from the 10th century through the first half of the 20th century. The collections span multiple floors and present sculptures, altarpieces, paintings, and furniture from various periods.

The museum opened in 1970 and is based on collections by physician Jesús Pérez-Rosales along with artworks from Sitges. The spaces preserve a history spanning more than 1,000 years.

The museum holds works that shaped local artistic traditions and regional identity. Visitors encounter how different periods of artists portrayed the landscape and life surrounding Sitges.

The museum spreads across several levels where you can discover different art forms. A chapel on the ground floor offers a quiet space for exploring and reflecting on the works.

The Sert Hall features large wall paintings from 1915 and 1916 depicting scenes of World War I through symbolic images. These artworks offer a rare glimpse into how artists of that period processed global events.
