Biblioteca General d’Història de l’Art
From vantage points across the city, the bombastic neobaroque silhouette of the so-called Palau Nacional (National Palace) can be seen halfway up the slopes of Montjuïc. The city’s main art reference library, the Biblioteca General d’Història de l’Art, is housed here, where students make good use of the resource.

Antic Hospital de la Santa Creu
Two blocks southeast of Plaça dels Àngels is an architectural masterpiece from another age. Founded in the early 15th century as the city’s main hospital, the Antic Hospital de la Santa Creu today houses the Biblioteca de Catalunya (Catalonia’s national library). Take a look inside to admire some fine Catalan Gothic construction.
