  • 4/5 Alberto F. Jr R. A. 2 years ago on Google • 642 reviews
    Beautiful, and interesting, the monumental complex of the monastery, which is the main headquarters of the History Museum. Recent restoration interventions have made it possible to visit spaces such as the Romanesque towers of Fum and Corn, which flank the unique pre-Romanesque façade of La Porta Ferrada, the Abbot's palace, with rooms for temporary exhibitions, or the museographic renovation of the permanent exhibitions. On the First floor is the old chapter house that houses the First Millenniums space, intended to display the archaeological collection that emerged from the various excavation campaigns. The current exhibition takes a tour of the Iberian era until the beginning of Romanization, with interest in everyday life and the world of beliefs, conveyed by a synthetic, formal and accessible discourse with illustrations and interactive elements. The towers and their architecture attract attention, but the Thyssen exhibition houses works of dubious taste.

    As a city history museum it is quite good. The part dedicated to the production of cork in the town is a little sad and is increasingly abandoned, not to mention the fact that this space has no air conditioning and you are directly burned. regrettable The Thyssen space, the only one with constant, permanent and inquisitorial surveillance, with air conditioning, currently has original works by Picasso and a couple by Sorolla. Museum-wise, very loose, waiting for the council to come to an agreement with the baroness to accommodate her outstanding collection of Catalan paintings from the 19th and early 20th. For now, the store is the best.

    good cultural visit, gathers several spaces, cork museum, tyssen museum, museum of s. Feliu, you can visit the Puerta Ferrara and climb the smoke tower from where you can see everything. very well restored, for people with reduced mobility there is already an elevator that facilitates the visit because it is already four floors high

    Interesting and brief historical approach to Sant Feliu de Guíxols. There is an access to the Monastery and the tower that is worth taking advantage of.

  • 5/5 Noelia H. 1 year ago on Google • 364 reviews
    A history museum inside a beautiful castle with a divine exterior and an amazing interior. The main part consists of a very beautiful church and when you enter from the side in the same tourist office you have access to the visit of the interior of the castle that consists of different rooms of painting and history and you can climb to the top and delight in the wonderful views of the city of Sant Feliu de Guixols from the top of the castle, a beauty that deserves to be visited

    I loved it, you have to go all day, to be able to enjoy almost everything, a place to always return to.

    We only went to the tourist information center. The woman at the reception could speak English. German and of course Spanish. She was very nice.

    Very enriching

  • 5/5 LETICIA 2 years ago on Google • 65 reviews
    Small but very interesting museum that broadly details the history of the city, the origin of its name and its development over the centuries. It is worth the climb to the tower to enjoy a beautiful view of the city and the Mediterranean.

    A museum dedicated to the production of cork. Exit to the towers with a view, a large part of the castle (museum) inaccessible

  • 5/5 Coralie C. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Located next to the tourist office nice free museum with access to the tower for a panoramic view (Original) Situé à côté de l'office du tourisme joli musée gratuit avec accès à la tour pour une vue panoramique

  • 5/5 Continente del N. 6 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Central facade of the monastery of Sant Feliu de Guíxols in Romanesque style. Although it has undergone significant changes over the centuries and has been influenced by various architectural movements, it still retains the Romanesque structure. The first ruins found belong to the late Roman or Visigothic period, but nothing remains of these. Currently, it is still owned by the Benedictines, and it can be accessed during mass at the corresponding times.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful corner in San Feliu that you cannot miss. Also the Tyssen Museum is next door (Original) Un rincon precioso en San Feliu que no te puedes perder. Además el Museo Tyssen está al lado

  • 3/5 Francisca M. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting to see an art gallery and the temporary exhibition of modern art that I did not like. The monastery itself, very beautiful (Original) Me decepcionó un poco porque esperaba ver una pinacoteca y la exposición temporal de arte moderno que había no me gustó. El monasterio en sí, muy bello
