Casa del gremi dels velers
About
The Casa del Gremi dels Velers is a captivating Modernista masterpiece. Originally built in 1909 to serve as a trade union headquarters for the local sailmakers, the building stands today as a testament to the visionary talent of Antoni Maria Gallissà i Soqué. Lluís Bru i Salelles' ceramic panels, which adorn the façade with scenes of shipbuilding
and sailing, immediately catch the eye. Overhead, the building's name is emblazoned in glazed ceramic lettering, lending an air of grandeur. Inside, exquisite stained-glass windows and graceful wrought-iron staircases enhance the already-impressive space. Now home to the Barcelona Maritime Museum, the Casa del Gremi dels Velers invites you to delve into the city's fascinating seafaring past.
