Museu Maricel
One of the people attracted to the Sitges art scene was American industrialist Charles Deering (heir to the company that would become International Harvester), who had this charming palace built right after World War I. Today it displays the collection of Dr. Jésus Pérez Rosales, which ranges from Gothic and Renaissance altarpieces to Catalan ceramics, as well as the town’s own art collection, which features work created by Sitges artists in the 19th and 20th centuries. Look for works by the Sitges “Luminist School,” a movement that preceded Catalan Modernisme. The enclosed mirador offers magnificent views over the sea, with grand arches punctuated by impressive noucentista sculptures.
