A symbol of design
The famous Jaume Fuster Library in Gràcia’s Plaça de Lesseps stands out with its luminous geometric structure. It was built on the former site of a metro garage and workshop, which was abandoned for many years.
This building, of enormous architectural value, was built by the architect Josep Llinàs and earned him the 2006 FAD prize for architecture, one of the most important awards in this field that is granted in Spain.
A reading space
The building, the inside of which is equally impressive as the outside, has one of the best library collections in the city, with more than 104,000 items available for public use. In addition it has a local collection with historical documents that include references to the district of Gràcia and to local literary writers who lived or have lived in Gràcia.
With almost 2,000 daily users and following its transformation into one of the most active cultural spaces in the neighbourhood, the library organises activities for children and adults, workshops, reading clubs, exhibitions and many other proposals in which participation is free. It is a real pleasure to visit Plaça de Lesseps and enter one of the cultural thermometers of the neighbourhood.
