The Contemporary Art Museum of Barcelona, also known as MACBA, was created especially with the intention to present exhibitions or works that were created during the second half of the 20th century. The place was born thanks to the writer and critic Alexandre Cirici-Pellicer who, in 1959, started to collect the works that are now exhibited in its galleries. After many comings and goings to determine where the museum would be situated, the building finally opened its doors on November 28th, 1995, in the district of El Raval, which is very close to the Contemporary Culture Centre (CCCB). In MACBA you can enjoy works from artists who were key in the development of world art, like Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Joaquín Torres-García, Antoni Tàpies, Pablo Palenzuelo, Miquel Barceló or Roy Lichtenstein, as well as authors who aren´t currently famous but who show big signs of promise. The creator of this building was the American architect Richard Meier and his idea was to unite the contemporary art which is presented inside of MACBA with the historical shapes that can be seen in the surrounding buildings. If you want to go to one of the most important museums in the city, you can rent apartments in Barcelona and enjoy some of the most important artists that the 20th century...

The Gran Theatre of Liceo is a symbol of the city of Barcelona because on its stage the most recognised artists in the world have performed and because since its creation it hasn´t stopped captivating the public with its architecture, its acoustics and it´s magical charm when the music is playing. Built in 1838, in its begginings the Liceo was used as a school of art where they taught theatre, singing and Italian music. Presently the building is public and the whole public can enjoy the performances that they play in it, or participate in the contests that take place or assist to the school of Petit Liceu to take opera lessons. As an emblem of the city, the Liceo suffered attacks and incidents that nearly destroyed it entirely. Like when in 1861 there was a fire or in 1893 an anarchist caused a bomb explosion on the stage. But the main attractive that the Liceo preserves is its always exquisite cultural suggestions, offering every season an improved offer for the spectators. Visiting the Liceo, feeling inside of it, being part of the universal history of opera and the thrill of the music is priceless. That´s why, if you want to get to know the famous Liceo, you have to rent apartments in Barcelona and reserve your seat in the most famous opera theatre in the...
