About this spot
The El Born Cultural Centre (Centre de Cultura i Memòria del Born) is a cultural institution located in the El Born neighborhood of Barcelona, Spain. It is housed in a historic building that was once the Mercat del Born, a bustling 19th-century market.
The El Born Cultural Centre is situated in a striking iron-framed structure that dates back to the late 19th century. It was originally designed by the architect Josep Fontserè as a market hall, and it played a significant role in the daily life of the city for many years.
Beneath the modern floor of the cultural center lies an extensive archaeological site. During the renovation of the building, the remains of the medieval neighborhood of El Born were discovered. Visitors to the center can explore these excavations, which provide insights into the daily life of Barcelona's residents during the Middle Ages.
