Arxiu Fotogràfic de Barcelona
The Photographic Archive of Barcelona was created to preserve, process, describe and disseminate the city’s photographic heritage. We conserve more than four million photographs from 1844 to the present day.
Over the years, professional and amateur photographers, publishers, personalities from Barcelona society, institutions, families, citizens and the City Council itself have nurtured this archive.
