  To ensure that culture and remembrance continue to reach you at home, the Born CCM has put together a series of online resources that even go as far as providing ideas to entertain the youngest members of the household. One possibility is to listen to a series of podcasts such as FAae Fiction(s); four lecture sessions that reflect on the complexity of fiction or else the opening lecture of a set entitled "Sons de la Memòria" (Sounds of Remembrance). Another option is to view a series of videos such as one on the illustrator Perich which has a competition run through social media associated with it, or another one that provides a complete tour of the Born neighborhood in just six minutes.

  Breathe in the air and steep yourself in art nouveau at Sant Pau



  The Sant Pau art nouveau site reopens on 26th June. The specifications of the complex fully comply with the current safety measures.

  The former Santa Creu i Sant Pau hospital is one of the world's biggest art nouveau sites and was designed by Domènech i Montaner as a small garden city made up of separate pavilions and set among areas where patients could recuperate and green spaces. During your visit, you'll be able to explore 1 km of underground galleries, four historic buildings now open to the public, exhibition spaces and more than 18,000 m² of gardens.

  Timed tickets will be on sale and feature discounts and free deals for health workers and the unwaged. The new opening times are Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sunday and public holidays from 10am to 2.30pm. The audioguide service has been temporarily discontinued but you can download the content as a mobile app.


  
There will be an admission charge on the first Sunday of the month (as part of the 'Solidarity Sundays' initiative) – except for the over 65s and under 12s – to raise funds for projects associated with COVID-19.


  
Now's the time to enjoy one of Barcelona's most magical spaces!
