Housed in a historic building, The Cinema Museum holds Spain’s first and most significant collection of cinematic history, thanks to the visionary Tomàs Mallol. Acquired by the city in 1994, his private collection forms the core of this public museum. It traces over 400 years of visual storytelling through 25,000 artefacts — from magic lanterns and zoetropes to early cameras and projectors — making it one of Europe’s most comprehensive archives on pre-cinema and early film. Beyond the permanent exhibition, the museum hosts temporary shows, educational workshops, and a specialised library. While some displays are labelled primarily in Catalan and Spanish, introductory materials are available in English, French and German.

Located in the heart of Cabarrus County, Frank Liske Park is a 238-acre gem named in honor of Mr. Liske, who dedicated nearly 50 years to the Stonewall Jackson Training School and played a pivotal role in preserving the land for public enjoyment. Today, the park is a hub for outdoor fun. Challenge your friends to a round of mini-golf, enjoy a scenic paddle on the lake with a paddle boat, or relax with a picnic in one of the shaded areas.

Panorama Trails offers the chance to admire the Catalan countryside on horseback, to wander along sandy beaches, through medieval villages and atop rolling green hills. Take the chance to experience the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean the way they were experienced for thousands of years.
