Fundació Blanquerna, Educational foundation in Sant Gervasi-la Bonanova, Spain.
Fundació Blanquerna is an educational foundation in the Sant Gervasi-la Bonanova neighborhood of Barcelona, affiliated with Universitat Ramon Llull and offering degree programs in fields such as psychology, speech therapy, and sports sciences. The foundation is spread across several buildings around Passeig de Sant Gervasi, so the campus occupies different points within the same neighborhood rather than a single enclosed site.
The institution was founded in 1948 and over the following decades became a key center for teacher training and psychology studies in Catalonia. In 2012 it was awarded the Cross of Saint George, one of the highest distinctions given by the Generalitat de Catalunya.
The name Blanquerna comes from a medieval novel written by the Catalan thinker Ramon Llull in the 13th century, and this connection remains central to the identity of Universitat Ramon Llull. Visitors to the campus today will notice students moving between buildings across the neighborhood, giving the area a clear academic character.
Since the buildings are spread across the neighborhood, it is worth checking the exact address of the specific building you need before arriving. Anyone looking to attend events or learn about programs should contact the foundation directly for up-to-date information.
As a non-profit organization, all revenues generated by the foundation flow back into teaching, research, and community projects rather than being distributed as profit. This shapes how money is used within the institution and sets it apart from commercial education providers.
