Located in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter which was once home to the Counts of Barcelona, the Museu Frederic Marès is one of the most important sculpture museums in Spain which houses an extensive and varied collection of art works which Frederic Marès collected throughout his life. The founder of the museum Marès was a sculptor, historian, teacher and obsessive collector. Among the most eye-catching pieces is a reconstructed Romanesque doorway with four arches, taken from a 13th-century country church in the Aragonese province of Huesca.
