El Born Centre de Cultura i Memòria, Cultural center in Sant Pere district, Barcelona, Spain
The El Born Centre de Cultura i Memòria occupies a restored iron-and-glass market building with archaeological remains visible beneath transparent floor panels.
The building transformed from a market constructed in 1876 into a cultural center in 2013, preserving archaeological elements from the early 18th century.
The center maintains exhibitions about Barcelona's heritage through guided tours, educational programs, and regular events featuring literature, music, dance, and film.
Visitors access the center Tuesday through Sunday, with seasonal hour variations between March-October and November-February, located at 12 Plaça Comercial.
The excavated ruins beneath the center reveal streets and buildings from 1700s Barcelona, documenting daily life before the 1714 siege.
