A tradition of philanthropy

The Llars Anna Gironella de Mundet complex, popularly known as Llars Mundet, was built in 1954, when the businessman Artur Mundet undertook the construction of a facility dedicated to caring for orphans, elderly people, the sick and others in need in the Horta-Guinardó district, to replace the old Casa de la Caritat , which had served that purpose in the Raval neighbourhood up to that point, but had become outdated.

With its tradition of public service, the current Llars Mundet complex comes under the Barcelona Provincial Council and includes care centres for the elderly, a sports facility run by the Catalan Federation for People with Intellectual Disabilities and schooling services, as well as the Psychology and Pedagogy faculties of the University of Barcelona.

Multipurpose site

Surrounded by  greenery and nature, the site covers 14 hectares, six of them in woodland, with the typical flora of the Collserola range. Thousands of people walk round it every day: university students, children going to school, old people and others who just want to visit one of the largest and most comprehensive facilities in the city that has been entirely devoted  to its citizens for more than 50 years.
