Viaducte de Vallcarca

The venue

Completed in 1923, the Vallcarca Viaduct stands as a vital infrastructure that spanned the old stream, linking the hills of Putget and El Coll in Gràcia. Initially designed in iron, its construction pivoted to reinforced concrete—a pioneering technique in early 20th-century Catalonia—complemented by stone and brick cladding. Its pillars, adorned with shields of Catalonia and Sant Jordi flanked by winged lions, define semicircular balconies. A testament to its era's engineering and local community involvement, it's a listed element of Barcelona's architectural heritage, redefining urban connectivity.
