Centre d'Art Santa Mònica, Cultural center in El Raval district, Barcelona, Spain.
Centre d'Art Santa Mònica is a cultural center housed in a former convent with classical proportions and an internal courtyard facing La Rambla. The space contains multiple rooms where exhibitions, video screenings, and live performances take place throughout the year.
The building dates to 1636 when Augustinian Recollects constructed it as a convent. Recognition as a historic monument in 1984 led to its transformation into a public cultural center a few years later.
The center uses its location on La Rambla to connect artists and visitors through shared experiences and collaborative events. Performances and exhibitions happen across multiple rooms, weaving art into the rhythm of street life outside.
Entry is directly accessible from La Rambla with clear pathways into the exhibition spaces. The layout makes it easy to move between different rooms and view what is on display.
An external ramp links the interior galleries directly to La Rambla, allowing visitors to observe street life while moving between exhibition spaces. This design blurs the line between the cultural venue and the busy public promenade outside.
