The tour through the Biblioteca de Catalunya glances through some of the main areas of its headquarters, the former Hospital de la Santa Creu.

The BC is the national library of Catalonia, and its mission consists of three basic principles:
· To collect, conserve and disseminate the bibliographical output of Catalonia.
· To oversee the conservation and dissemination of the bibliographical heritage.
· To maintain its status as a universal centre for scientific research and consultation.

This open day aims at presenting the various sections of the BC, at demonstrating its wealth in documentary resources and at underlining the vital role the institution plays in the cultural grid of the country.

Throughout your itinerary, you will find professionals whom you may consult to get further information on the BC.
