The old station

La Magòria station, which served the Barcelona-Manresa line, is at the junction between Gran Via and Carrer del Moianès. Its sloping roofs are made of Arabic tiles, its facade features a combination of masonry and irregular ashlars and the tower has a stucco finish. The openings of the two facades appear framed in brick, which outlines the entire perimeter of the tower and the building. Visiting times are from Mondays to Fridays, 10 am to 9 pm.

Josep Domènech i Estapà

The architect Josep Domènech i Estapà, a professor of Geodesy and Descriptive Geometry at the University of Barcelona, developed his own style based on classical architectural styles, distancing himself from the fashionable trends of his day, such as Modernisme. Among other buildings, he designed the Palau de Justícia, the Palau Ramon and the Empar de Santa Llúcia shelter for the blind, later the Museu de la Ciència de Barcelona and now CosmoCaixa.
