Municipal Conservatory of Barcelona – La Concepció Market

On the same block in the Eixample you can find two buildings with very different architectural characteristics. The older of the two is La Concepció Market, which is covered by an imposing iron structure that is visible from the street. It was constructed in 1888 at the height of the Modernisme period. The Municipal Conservatory of Barcelona, which was built between 1916 and 1927, is located close by. Although its predominant style is Noucentisme you can see how Modernisme influenced the design of the building.
