Sant Ignasi takes part in Open House BCN
On 26th October, Sant Ignasi opened its doors once more with the help of Aquidos, on the occasion of the 48h Open House BCN festival.
This annual celebration reveals the city through the lens of architecture and urban planning with guided tours of buildings and emblematic spaces, giving visitors the opportunity to discover what happens behind the façades of these structures. It provides a unique glimpse into how they operate and a fresh way to experience architecture.

Through guided tours, Aquidos has the opportunity to share its work in educational transformation and heritage, and to show how architecture can go hand in hand with education, preserving the historical value of the buildings and preparing them for present and future educational challenges.
At Sant Ignasi the day was a great success: the school received 416 visits!
Sant Ignasi, an emblematic building in Barcelona designed by the architect Joan Martorell Montells between 1888 and 1910, is a jewel of the Catalan neo-Gothic style. Built with exposed brick and inspired by English schools, it stands as an educational and cultural landmark with a rich history of serving the city.
Since 2018, the architecture studio AQUIDOS has been carrying out renovations and adaptations to meet new educational needs, always respecting the building's heritage. This ongoing transformation strikes a balance between history and modernity in innovative learning spaces.
