Open day at the old La Model prison
La Model is opening to the public as from 2 September and once again offering free visits (without guides) for everyone. The visits will be held on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, except for public holidays. All you need do is bring yourself over to the old prison during its opening times. No prior booking is required.
From now on, anyone who so wishes will be able to freely tour one of the most imposing buildings of 1900s Barcelona and visit the most striking parts of the prison, such as its yards, galleries, cells and central panopticon.
The open day’s times are:
- Fridays: from 4 pm to 6 pm
- Saturdays: from 10 am to 2 pm and from 4 pm to 6 pm
- Sundays: from 10 am to 2 pm
There will be no open days on 11 and 24 September, on 25 December, on 1 or 6 January, on 7 or 9 April or on 24 June, as those dates are public holidays.
Guided tours too
The open days are complemented with guided tours that are regularly held and free as well, but which need to be booked from the La Model’s website: www.lamodel.barcelona.
Barcelona City Council, what is more, is also offering several guided tours specially designed for school children. Schools can check out the details and make bookings from the La Model’s website.
