The next stop is the Col·legi Oficial de Metges, Barcelona’s professional association of doctors, which has been in existence since 1894. The COMB works to maintain the values of the profession and ensure that all citizens enjoy a universal right to quality healthcare. In 1968, the COMB left its old headquarters on the Via Laietana and moved to the Passeig de la Bonanova, where they commissioned a new building inspired by the European avant-garde of the time. The result was a Rationalist structure whose different volumes and textures stand out, outlining the separation between modules. The building was designed by architects Robert Terradas Via and Jordi Adroer Iglesias, who brought cosmopolitan architecture to Barcelona at a time when the city was isolated from the outside world as the result of the Franco dictatorship. The COMB is open to whoever would like to learn more about the institution or participate in the professional and cultural activities organised there: clinical sessions, professional training, cinema projections, live music, day trips and conferences. This building also houses the headquarters of the MED group of businesses, which share the values of the Col·legi and offer their services to many of Barcelona’s citizens.
