  Pantalla Pavelló Film Series

  These summer nights in Barcelona fill once again with cinema through Pantalla Pavelló, a cycle projecting films directly onto the travertine of the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion. The built environment and its boundaries become a stage for reflection on architecture, the city, and its inhabitants. An experience inviting contemplation of the cities we desire and the society we wish to build.

  Sant Jordi 2026

  This is one of the most keenly anticipated and widely celebrated Catalan public holidays. According to the traditional tale, Sant Jordi (Saint George) killed the dragon that used to live in Montblanc where it terrorized the local population, thus saving the king's daughter from certain death. Legend has it that a beautiful rose bush sprang up in the spot where the dragon's blood was spilled. From the 18th century onward, the Sant Jordi festival became widely identified as a Catalan 'fiesta' which these days arouses great popular, civic and cultural passion. On Sant Jordi's Day, lovers exchange a rose and a book and every town and city in Catalonia is filled with stalls set up to sell both.
