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.
