Barcelona ciutat gegant. 600 anys de festa i tradició is one of the cornerstones in the cultural program to celebrate 600 years of gegants (giants) in Barcelona. The exhibit offers a 360-degree view on the history, tradition, present and future of the world of giants as an iconic part of the city's traditional festivals.
You’ll find various inactive Barcelona giants, such as the City Giants from 1984 and 1999, the original heads of the old Casa de la Caritat giants, now restored, plus other surprises.
The display also aims to offer more in-depth knowledge of the world of giants and the people that look after them, with anecdotes and curious facts about the city’s giant festival figures, contextualized throughout history.
