Lluïsos de Gràcia, event location
Lluïsos de Gràcia is a creative residency and cultural center in Barcelona's Gràcia neighborhood that offers theater spaces, workshops, and community activities. The venue includes an open stage for theater groups to rehearse and perform, art exhibitions, music courses, sports facilities, and a bar called El Nostre Fil for socializing.
Lluïsos de Gràcia was established in 1855 as a meeting place in the Gràcia neighborhood and gradually expanded to include multiple activities. Its basketball program began in 1945 with a private indoor court completed in 1962, the first of its kind in Barcelona, while the Coral Cantiga choir was founded in 1961.
Lluïsos de Gràcia serves as a gathering place where the neighborhood's cultural groups share their work with the public. Theater ensembles, the Coral Cantiga choir, and community associations regularly stage performances and events that reflect the identity of the Gràcia area.
The center is easily reached in the Gràcia neighborhood near Plaça del Nord and welcomes visitors for various events and open activities year-round. It is worth checking the current program beforehand since offerings change regularly and workshops or performances have different schedules throughout the year.
The center operated one of Barcelona's first private indoor basketball courts beginning in 1962, demonstrating its long commitment to sports education across generations. It is also home to Lluïsos Teatre, a puppet theater that reopened in 2015 and regularly stages new productions for families and young children.
