On March 26th at the Museum of History of Barcelona - El Born - Sala Moragues, Barcelona will be presented, a book that explores over a century of the city’s history through images. A tribute to its cultural, architectural, and social evolution.
The book brings back a forgotten episode of Barcelona's history and highlights the role of women in social struggles. With the presence of Councilor Raquel Gil Eiroá, author Isabel Segura i Soriano invites us to reflect on historical memory and collective mobilizations.
We celebrate #8M by giving away El Rebombori del Pa, which recalls a revolt led by women in 1789 due to the rising price of this essential food. The 3 winners will receive a copy of the book.
We present the book 'El retorn de Néstor Almendros'
Guided by its author, Laura Gavaldà, and Jaume Peracaula, The Return of Néstor Almendros is an intimate, cinematic journey through the life of the Oscar-winning cinematographer. Between exile and creation, the book preserves his memory and legacy.
Presentation of the book The Papers of Tierno Galván
Don't miss the presentation of the book The Papers of Tierno Galván by author Àlex Masllorens, with the presence of Mayor Jaume Collboni, which explores the political and intellectual legacy of Tierno Galván through research in his personal archive.
The City Council of Barcelona is leaving the social network X. As a result, the Barcelona Llibres profile on X is inactive. From now on, you can find us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, the Barcelona Llibres website, and the Barcelona Llibres newsletter.
More than fifty workers from the Youth Department during the early years of democracy have recounted that collective experience in a collaborative book. Download the ebook for free.
We invite you to discover Pere Falqués, municipal architect during the Modernist era, guided by historian Joan Molet. The book presentation also featured Maria Buhigas, chief architect of the Barcelona City Council, and architect Marina Povedano.
Coinciding with La Setmana del Llibre en Català, we are launching a new catalog with a wealth of editorial novelties! You can pick up the paper version at the municipal bookstore, Sala Ciutat (c. Ciutat, 2).
A guide that invites us to take a walk to discover the "tattoos" on the facades. Presentation on June 19, at 5:30 p.m., at La Capell bookstore of the Architects' Association of Catalonia. As part of Architecture Weeks.
