Can Llopis Romantic Museum

Can Llopis Romantic Museum. Once a 19th century Catalan land owner's home. Collection representing the social life of the people of that century. Lola Anglada antique doll collection.
It is a neoclassic-style building, with a very sober exterior decoration. In 1793, a member of one of Sitges’ most traditional families, Josep Bonaventura Falç, built a new home outside the ramparts. Soon afterwards, the Falçs became related through marriage to another Sitges family, the Llopis’s, and the house was then given its present name. Can Llopis was witness to Sitges’ 19th century history. A century full of social, economic and cultural changes and technical innovations. Bernardí Llopis i Pujol, born in 1822, was a paradigmatic representative of this splendor. He promoted the family’s malmsey-making industry, a characteristic Sitges sweet wine that is only cultivated today in the Hospital’s vineyards, a Llopis family donation.
