Imaginarios urbanos en el siglo XIX

Author/s: Núria Fernandez Rius
Collection: Behind the Scenes

The construction of the Columbus Monument and a snow-covered Gran Via in 1887. These snapshots and many more have been brought together in this book, which contains never-before-seen photographs of nineteenth-century Barcelona. Through its images, discover the city’s urban and social transformation, driven by industrialisation and the bourgeois revolution. Delve into the Barcelona of the 1800s with these incredible, previously unpublished photos. You will find streets and avenues we still use every day and others that no longer exist, showing how the city and everyday life here have been transformed.
