Espai Moja, a unique immersive experience to discover Catalonia

If we had to describe a visit to Espai Moja: Catalonia, Living Heritage in one word, it would surely be: EXCITING. This space, located on the ground floor of the Palau Moja, invites us on a sensorial and interactive journey through the history and culture of our country.
Thanks to the latest immersive technologies —such as virtual reality, immersive projections, and tactile elements —we delve into Catalonia's heritage like never before: we discover monuments, hear voices from the past, meet historical figures, taste traditional cuisine, and participate in the most deeply rooted festivals.
This visit is completely free upon prior reservation!
All of this is part of the project " The Eyes of History. An immersive look at Catalan heritage," designed to bring heritage closer to citizens through innovative resources and emotionally compelling stories.
A journey through time and emotion
The visit begins by crossing the Portal of Time, a symbolic threshold that leads us to a new dimension where past and present coexist. From here, we become protagonists of a journey in which each space tells a part of our history.
🕰️ "Time Capsules": The Story, in First Person
Virtual reality headsets transport us to key moments such as 2nd-century Tarraco, the Seu Vella in Lleida in 1442, the Palau Moja in 1748, and a 19th-century textile factory. It's an intense experience: we can feel the vertigo of an elevator that transports us to different moments in history or be moved by the sight of a 12-year-old girl working in a factory.
✨ "The Mirror of a Thousand Reflections": beauty and visual spectacle
An immersive space that will captivate you visually. Here, through spectacular projections, we delve into landscapes such as the Roca de los Moros del Cogul, the Romanesque architecture of San Clemente de Taüll, the modernism of the Pau Casals House Museum, and the Tarraco Amphitheater. A true visual journey through Catalonia's rich heritage.
🗣️ "Living language": Catalan in all its forms
Discovering how our language varies across regions can be very entertaining! In this space, you can play with the different dialectal variations of Catalan and test yourself by pronouncing words typical of each region.
🍳 “Everyone at the table!”: the kitchen as cultural heritage
An original activity where you can "cook" typical Catalan dishes... without getting dirty! A fun way to learn about our gastronomy and its connection to traditions by relating them to the season.
More spaces to explore
Other spaces, such as " Landscapes Full of Stories," " Footprints Through Time," " The Echo of Voices, " and " Emotions Within the Festival," give us a close-up look at the festivals, characters, and settings that make up Catalonia's great cultural mosaic. Each room is a window into our collective identity.
A personalized and accessible visit for everyone
At the beginning of your visit, you'll receive an interactive wristband that allows you to select your language, create an avatar, and bookmark the content that interests you most. At the end, you'll receive an email with your entire selection so you can review and share it.
In addition, Espai Moja is 100% accessible, with adapted resources in easy-to-read format, sign language, and audio description, to ensure everyone can enjoy the experience.
A taste of culture: Gil × Espai Moja
After your visit, there's nothing better than taking a break at Gil × Espai Moja, the venue's tasting area. Here, history and gastronomy come together with a selection of traditional pastries and sweets made by a family bakery with over 130 years of tradition. You'll find everything from carquiñoles and tortas de recapte to festive specialties like panellets, roscones, and buñuelos.
A delicious way to connect with Catalan culture... through your stomach!
Tourist Information Point: your adventure begins here
Before you leave, you can visit the Tourist Information Point (PAT), the ideal place to plan your next cultural getaway. You'll find up-to-date information on monuments, museums, festivals, and activities throughout Catalonia, as well as routes and recommendations tailored to your interests.
In summary...
The Espai Moja is much more than an exhibition: it's an immersive, emotional, and educational experience that draws you into the soul of the country. A journey through time and territory, where history is lived, touched, and remembered. Ideal for families, couples, tourists, and anyone who wants to experience Catalonia in a different and captivating way.
