La Barcelona de Jujol - Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi
Exhibitions
12/11/2025 - 02/27/2026
The Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi hosts La Barcelona de Jujol, an exhibition that highlights the figure of Josep Maria Jujol (1879–1949), one of the freest and most singular creators of the 20th century, and the city that shaped his career. An architect, artist and teacher, Jujol experienced first-hand the transformation of Barcelona: from Modernisme to the avant-gardes, from the walled city to the modern metropolis, and from the destruction of the Civil War to the reconstruction of its heritage.
The exhibition unfolds across two key spaces within the church: the Baptistery, dedicated to Jujol's intervention in homage to Saint Joaquina de Vedruna, and the New Sacristy, which presents the results of the research project La Barcelona de Jujol. The reconstruction of the Pi rose window, designed by Jujol after the fire of 1936, becomes one of the central threads of the exhibition, alongside his teaching work, his dialogue with the avant-gardes and his imprint on Ciutat Vella. An opportunity to rediscover Jujol and to look at Barcelona with fresh eyes.
