Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona

The CCCB examines cities, public space and contemporary culture through exhibitions and events in El Raval. Its changing programme makes the theme of the current show the main reason to enter.

Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona

Why go

Here, contemporary culture is treated as a question about how people live together, rather than as an art collection alone. Exhibitions sit alongside debates, film and other events, and part of the centre occupies the former Casa de Caritat. It is especially useful beside MACBA: the two neighbours let you compare art on display with ideas about urban life.

What to look for

  • The centre's exhibitions often focus on cities and public space.
  • The CCCB incorporates part of the former Casa de Caritat.
  • Its programme reaches beyond exhibitions to film, debate and festivals.

Useful to know

  • Check the current programme and choose the exhibition or event that interests you.
  • Visit with MACBA if you want two contrasting cultural stops in El Raval.
