The Biblioteca de Catalunya opens an exhibition on the moment the city became a cultural epicenter through the 3rd Congress of the International Musicological Society and the 14th Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music. Located in the Espai Zero, the exhibition draws from the Higini Anglès and Robert Gerhard archives to document the intellectual networks behind this milestone.

Edifici de l'Antic Hospital de la Santa Creu
Raval's Civil Gothic: from hospital to National Library.
In the heart of Raval, the Old Hospital de la Santa Creu Building stands as a landmark of Catalan civil Gothic architecture. Founded in 1401 to centralize Barcelona's healthcare, this complex operated for over five centuries, witnessing the city's urban and medical evolution, and where Antoni Gaudí spent his last days in 1926. Today, its halls and courtyards host the Biblioteca de Catalunya, the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, and the Reial Acadèmia de Medicina, complete with its remarkable 18th-century anatomical amphitheater. A historic vestige reimagined as a cultural epicenter.
