Opened in 1994, this is the first center in Europe dedicated to the study
of the urban metropolis seen as a universal phenomenon which allows us
to analyse the social, cultural and urban development of the city, as
well as its history.
The C.C.C.B. was built by the architect Piñón y Viaplana,
on the site of the old Casa de la Caridad, a beautiful building of which
a few original decorative elements remain.
This is the main exhibition centre in Barcelona, located in the heart
of the Raval district. Apart from courses and seminars, its program includes
some of the most interesting cultural initiatives in Barcelona. It also
has a café-restaurant and a gift shop.
