"Much More Than A Cultural Center"

The site that is an address to the El Born Centre Cultural today used to be home to the famous El Born market. When the market fell into dilapidation, the local authorities expressed their desire to renovate the space into a library. As the construction work for the proposed library began, excavations revealed archaeological wonders beneath the market. Some of these ruins were as old as the 14th Century and further research suggested that these were infact remains of a city that existed here in the 17th Century. The ruins were then carefully preserved and an impressive center was built around it in 2013. This is a fantastic location for several local and private events and is also a must-visit for historians and architecture aficionados.
