Can we rethink the image that we have of him today? You will find the answer in this exhibition, which offers a new look at the architect and an exercise in deconstructing the man, the myth and his work, which are so often reduced and simplified to the point of turning them into a brand.
- Get inside the former prison of Barcelona: La Model is the penitentiary building that has accompanied the contemporary history of Barcelona. A prison with great symbolism for the citizens that is now beginning the path to become a new place of reference in the city, ending the urban barrier that was this installation for more than a century. Within the years, this prison became the place where people involved in riots of all kinds were imprisoned. During the Franco regime, the cells of this enclosure took in thousands of political prisoners, especially during the 1940s, the post-war repression. Now you can visit it and even have a guided tour, which will help you learn and understand more about the history of Catalonia.
