There are many reasons why this culture center in Barcelona is an unmissable visitor attraction. The building in itself is an architectural landmark: the Casa de la Caritat, a former workhouse in the Raval district, which underwent a refurbishment programme earning it the FAD architecture prize.

The Centre de Cultura Contemporània hosts a broad programme of exhibitions about the most diverse aspects of contemporary art and culture. It also organises complementary activities which embrace a diversity of fields from music to dance, independent video to alternative cinema, performance to multimedia creations, Master’s and post-graduate courses to international debates, and children’s entertainments and theatre.
