Entering the club of properties inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List is a highly restricted privilege, since the criteria of its selection committee are incredibly strict. That’s what makes it so impressive that the regions of Barcelona boast a total of 9 World Heritage buildings. They’re all must-see attractions for architecture enthusiasts!

Strength, balance, courage and common sense, the four key concepts of human tower building, repeated like a mantra by its practitioners. For spectators, the most appropriate words might be thrills, nerves, suspense and joy. Without a doubt, to experience a human tower building event is to navigate a sea of sensations. So it’s no wonder that UNESCO inscribed this Catalan tradition par excellence on its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

El reconeixement de Barcelona com a capital mundial de l'arquitectura el 2026 és una oportunitat per mirar més enllà del nucli urbà. La província de Barcelona ha estat històricament un laboratori d'innovació arquitectònica, amb obres que han definit l'evolució de l'arquitectura moderna des de mitjans del segle XX fins avui: des de la sensibilitat mediterrània de Coderch i Bonet fins a l'audàcia de Bofill i la poètica de Miralles i Pinós, l'arquitectura moderna ha deixat una empremta profunda i transformadora en aquest territori.
