The best libraries in Barcelona
Today, contemporary libraries go beyond simply being spaces for borrowing books. They become settings for exhibitions, talks, debates and various cultural events. As well as being suitable places to work, they are often located in buildings with exceptional architecture. These are some of Barcelona's notable libraries, and there are many more spread throughout the city, each with its own charm and specialisation.
