The monumental site in Plaça del Rei is the founding nucleus of the MUHBA and has been since the museum was set up in 1943.

The Barcelona History Museum (MUHBA) preserves, studies, documents, promotes and exhibits the city’s historical heritage, from the origins of the city through to the present day. The museum has various important historical heritage sites, located around the city’s neighbourhoods and districts. The main museum building is the Casa Padellàs, one of a series of building forming the monumental site in Plaça del Rei, in the Gothic quarter.

The historian Agustí Duran i Sanpere was behind the initial project and was the first director of the museum, which opened on 14 April 1943.
