Every street in Sitges carries echoes of the events that shaped it. Stand in front of Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla and the past stops being abstract — the buildings, monuments, and neighborhoods survived to tell their tale. Quieter sites like Museu Maricel hold stories that the crowds at the major monuments never hear.
