Events

In 1906, Palau Savassona became the property and headquarters of the Ateneu Barcelonès. This iconic association, presided over by such illustrious names as Àngel Guimerà, Valentí Almirall, Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Joan Maragall and Pompeu Fabra, has been working for culture for more than a century and a half.

A demonstration of culture

The Ateneu Barcelonès promotes and plays host to a variety of cultural events, including chess clubs, theatre, music, exhibitions, conferences and film screenings. For a few years one of the highlights has been the writing school that offers a variety of courses ranging from classes in narrative, poetry and drama to training in journalistic writing, literature and film scripts.

A Neoclassical gem

Designed as a stately home, the building was built in 1796 by the Baron Savassona, who was inspired by Gothic Catalan mansions. Highlights include the entrance (made for carriage access), the noble staircase and the library. It was revamped in 1906 and its interior spaces updated almost a century later. The revamping was finished in 2007, with the restoration of the library. The building was declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest in 1981.
