Casa de la Caritat de Barcelona
Casa de la Caritat de Barcelona, Social welfare complex in El Raval, Spain
The Casa de la Caritat spans two hectares with multiple courtyards, including the Manning courtyard featuring Tuscan columns and baroque decorative elements.
Established in 1803 by decree of Charles IV, the building transformed from a monastery to a seminary before becoming a charitable institution.
The Manning Courtyard hosts the Giants of Barcelona Districts exhibition during the La Merce Festival, displaying traditional Catalan folk figures.
The complex currently houses the Contemporary Culture Center of Barcelona and the Cultural Studies and Resources Center of Barcelona Provincial Council.
The institution maintained financial independence through its funeral services concession and internal workshops that provided occupational training for residents.
