Cultural heritage

Originally a bakery, the Vila de Gràcia secondary school has large windows designed to let in the early morning light, just when the bakers began their day’s work. A Noucentista building by Joaquim Raspall i Mayol, it features Saint James on horseback, with his sword in his hand.
An Apostle and the patron saint of Spain and a pilgrim remembered for the Road to Santiago, he is also the fighter who defended the Christians against the Muslims and the American natives from Spanish oppression.
