CaixaForum Girona and its collection

CaixaForum Girona
Source

CaixaForum Girona is a hub for a wide array of exhibitions and cultural and educational activities, catering to a diverse audience. The forum is part of a network of CaixaForum centers spread across various locations in Spain, including Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Zaragoza, Palma, Lérida, Tarragona, València, and Macaya.

Medieval Catalan Architecture

The building that houses CaixaForum Girona is a remarkable example of Catalan civil architecture from the medieval period. It is believed to have been a 13th-century palace owned by one of the prominent families of medieval Girona, the Sitjar family. Some architectural elements from this period, such as the ground floor portico and the inner courtyard, as well as decorative elements like the triforium windows on the first floor, have been preserved.

Transformation into CaixaForum Girona

In the spring of 2011, the historic building embarked on a new chapter as it was transformed into CaixaForum Girona. This marked a significant evolution in the building's purpose, from a cultural center to a hub for exhibitions and educational activities, further enriching the cultural landscape of Girona.
