ArchitectureArtPhotographyOpen until 8pmFrom €8Universitat (Metro L1, L2)

Το CCCB είναι το κέντρο σύγχρονου πολιτισμού της Βαρκελώνης, με επίκεντρο την πόλη και τον αστικό πολιτισμό. Καταλαμβάνει τμήμα του Casa de Caritat, ενός πρώην πτωχοκομείου που χτίστηκε από το 1802 και το οποίο οι αρχιτέκτονες Albert Viaplana και Helio Piñón μετέτρεψαν το 1993, προσθέτοντας έναν κεκλιμένο γυάλινο όγκο που αντανακλά τις στέγες της πόλης. Οι μεγάλες θεματικές εκθέσεις του συνδυάζουν τέχνη, επιστήμη, ιστορία και design, ενώ παράλληλα φιλοξενείται ένα πλούσιο πρόγραμμα ομιλιών, φεστιβάλ και κινηματογραφικών προβολών. Δεν διαθέτει μόνιμη συλλογή· οι εκθέσεις ανανεώνονται αρκετές φορές τον χρόνο.
