MUHBA express visits ‘Celebration and Carnival’

Discover Barcelona’s bustling past with MUHBA Express Visits, centred on the theme ‘Celebration and Carnival’. Immerse yourself in history and discover why, in 1700, Barcelona’s carnival was one of the most celebrated in all of Europe.

About this event

At that time, Barcelona was a hive of festive activity, where almost a third of the days of the year were devoted to celebration. Carnival, in particular, stood out for its extravagance and joy: citizens from all social classes hid behind costumes and masks, gave themselves over to music and dancing, took part in pitched battles with oranges through the narrow streets, admired dazzling fireworks and followed processions of extravagant characters through the city, all amid impressive ephemeral sets that transformed the city into a theatrical stage.

This 30-minute express visit to the MUHBA archaeological complex will not only allow you to understand what Barcelona’s carnival was like and its cultural importance, but also to feel the festive atmosphere that permeated the city, a metropolis that never seemed to sleep.

Do not miss this opportunity to connect with Barcelona’s playful past. The visit is free, a perfect gift for any curious lover of history and popular culture who wishes to explore the most festive side of this iconic city.
