The former home and studio of the painter Santiago Rusiñol, opened as a public museum in 1933 and a temple of Catalan Modernisme. Behind its walls hang two original El Grecos alongside works by Picasso, Ramón Casas and Zuloaga, and a celebrated collection of wrought iron ('ferro' — the source of the name), glass and ceramics. Perched above Sant Sebastià beach beside the church, it is the cultural heart of old Sitges.

The two El Greco paintings and the wrought-iron collection Rusiñol assembled — the museum's signatures. The house itself, as his studio, is half the experience.
Daytime opening hours; pair it with the neighbouring Maricel museum and a walk around the church headland. Mornings are quietest.
