Casa del gremi de velers, Baroque guild headquarters in Sant Pere Santa Caterina i la Ribera, Spain

The Casa del Gremi de Velers displays intricate sgraffito work on its exterior walls, featuring detailed figures and floral patterns throughout the facade.

King Charles V established regulations for the silk weavers guild in 1533, leading to their initial meetings at Santa Anna Church before constructing this building in 1758.

The building houses the College of Major Art of Silk in Barcelona since 1834 and maintains a collection of historical documents about the silk trade.

Located at Via Laietana 50 in Barcelona, the structure connects Sant Pere Més Alt street with Plaça Lluís Millet in the historic district.

The facade features a sculptural niche containing a Virgin Mary figure created by artist Joan Enrich, visible from the street level.
