Opposite the Palau de la Música stands the Casa de la Seda, an elegant 18th-century guildhall. Its sgraffito façade and the figure of Our Lady of the Angels on the corner balcony immediately catch the eye. Inside, silk-covered walls, carved wood, frescoes, historical documents and other details evoke its deep connection to the art of silk. Walking through its rooms transports you to a serene, refined Barcelona, when silk was synonymous with prestige and craftsmanship.
This is good to know
Today, Casa de la Seda is a distinctive venue for cultural events and receptions, and the headquarters of the College of the Art of Silk.
The space opens every Saturday for guided tours – a rare opportunity to explore, at your own pace and without filters, one of Barcelona’s most stunning heritage interiors.
