In 1875, the Raventós family sold the old farmhouse Plana Novella to Pere Domenèch i Grau, a resident of Cuba. The new owner included his possessions under the benefits of the colonial law, obtaining an exemption from consumption tax and other services for the families living there. The construction of the palace was completed on October 29, 1890. The owners only enjoyed it for six years because they went bankrupt due to the phylloxera outbreak in 1893. As a result, the estate was put up for public auction in 1896. Since then, the palace has had different owners who kept its doors closed until 1996 when a Buddhist community moved in, restoring the building and establishing a museum.
Sakya Tashi Ling is a monastery belonging to one of four Buddhist schools from Tibet, the Sakyapa tradition. It is an ancient order that follows the Tibetan spiritual leader and ancient king Sakya Trizin. The monastery is ruled by Lama Jamyang Tashi Dorje. It was built in 1905 by a family of "indians", called the Palau Novella which passed into the hands of the Buddhist community, Sakya Tashi Ling. They restored the building and installed a museum inside. It was re-established in July 1996, in the municipality of Olivella in the comarca of Garraf, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
The Gavà Archaeological Museum, established in 1978, showcases the rich archaeological heritage of the Garraf region, featuring the Prehistoric Mines of Gavà and the cave of Sant Sadurní. With a focus on research, conservation, and heritage dissemination, the museum provides a fascinating journey through millions of years of landscape history.
