Tarannà by Palau Martorell

Café · bookshop · event space

A few steps from the Palau Martorell, facing the Basilica de la Mercè: an intimate, versatile space where culture is lived daily | and where your events take on a character of their own.

The idea

Tarannà was born in answer to a recurring request over the years: companies and individuals wanted to hold their events at the Palau Martorell, but capacity limits and the conservation needs of the artworks made it impossible.

To meet that need, a multifunctional space was created a few metres from the Palau. Day to day it lives as a café-bookshop; booked exclusively, it becomes an intimate, versatile venue for events tied to the cultural world of the Palau Martorell.
