The Peralada Castle Museum is located in an old 14th-century Carmelite convent.

 

The museum displays the private collections of the castle: the library, which contains nearly 100.000 books; the ceramics collection, featuring 1.000 different pieces; the glass collection, which is considered to be the most important in Spain and one of the largest collections in the world by a single owner, with more than 2.500 pieces; the cloister, which houses the stone collection; the Gothic church, with its 14th-century coffered ceiling; and the wine museum with a very complete display of objects related to the wine culture, dating from the 14th century onward.

The visit ends in a space that was created for the expansion of the winery and that, currently, has become a permanent exhibition dedicated to the historic Hispano-Suiza car company, belonging to the same owners of the Castle: The Suqué Mateu family.

The Peralada Castle Museum and, especially, its glass collection joins the celebration of the "International Year of Glass" during the last 2022.

Although the glass collection can be enjoyed, to a large extent, within the visit to the Museum, this year an unprecedented area of the collection located on the main floor of the Castle will be opened to the public. In these rooms, the collector Miguel Mateu Pla located his first glass purchases, so we will immerse ourselves in the museography proposed at the beginning of the 20th century inside a 14th century castle.

This visit will take place on Saturdays, at 12 noon with prior reservation contacting by email: infomuseo@grupperalada.com. The maximum capacity is 10 people. Price: €10.00.

Entrance: Plaza del Carmen (same door of the Museum). Punctuality is essential since the door will open and close at 12:00.
