Antinous is a bookshop dedicated to LGBTQIA+ literature and Barcelona’s queer history. Its shelves bring together fiction, essays, comics and specialist magazines. Alongside the books, it also hosts presentations, talks and cultural events. Here, past and present sit side by side in a space where queer culture is given visibility.

This is good to know

The name refers to Antinous, Emperor Hadrian’s lover and a classical symbol of love between men, reinterpreted here as a contemporary icon.
