Coberta del llibre La Barcelona de ferro

Focusing on the figure of Joan Torras Guardiola, this book analyses Barcelona’s transformation from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, with the expansion of the Eixample and efforts to put the city firmly on the European map during the 1888 Barcelona Universal Exposition. Among the most widely used materials at the time was iron, which was clearly visible in new constructions within the urban landscape, but also omnipresent in non-visible metal structures.
