The Museum Building
The Verdaguer House Museum is located inside a very old house. This house was built way back in the 1600s! Jacint Verdaguer's parents, Josep Verdaguer and Josepa Santaló, lived in this house from 1841 to 1847. Jacint himself was only two years old when his family lived here. It's cool to think that you can visit the very house where a famous poet spent his early childhood!
