Consul's Room

The austere elegance of a hall brimming with talent

This hall was the site of the Academy of Fine Arts, an institution responsible for providing public education in Barcelona. Its roll-call of famous graduates includes Antonio Gaudí and Pablo Picasso.

The Barcelona Chamber of Commerce undertook a remodelling of this space in 1973. It was then when, while demolishing the intermediate-level forging work, the restorers found the intact arches of the Consul's Room.
