Casa del gre­mi dels vel­ers

About

The Casa del Gre­mi dels Vel­ers im­me­di­ate­ly cap­ti­vates with its Mod­ernista de­sign. Con­struct­ed in 1909 as a hub for the lo­cal sail­mak­er­s' trade union, the build­ing show­cas­es the in­no­v­a­tive bril­liance of An­toni Maria Gal­lis­sà i So­qué. Lluís Bru i Salelles' ce­ram­ic art­work, adorn­ing the ex­te­ri­or with im­agery of ship­build­ing and sail­ing,

seizes your at­ten­tion. Above, the struc­ture's name, craft­ed in glazed ce­ram­ic let­ter­ing, adds a touch of majesty. With­in, stun­ning stained-glass win­dows and el­e­gant wrought-iron stair­cas­es el­e­vate the al­ready awe-in­spir­ing space. Now hous­ing the Barcelona Mar­itime Mu­se­um, the Casa del Gre­mi dels Vel­ers beck­ons you to ex­plore the city's cap­ti­vat­ing mar­itime his­to­ry.
