This is a French baroque-style palace built by architect Josep Ribes in 1770 for the ex-viceroy of Peru, Manuel Amat i Junyent, who thought it would please his new wife. It's now headquarters to the Town Hall's Cultural Department. The exhibition centre shows works by some of Catalunya's most important contemporary artists, like Oriol Bohigas and Antoni Abad.
