House of Silk (La Casa de la Seda) Tours

Dating back to the 18th century, Barcelona's House of Silk (La Casa de la Seda) was once home to the guild of silk-sail-makers in the city. The 300-year-old exterior reflects the elegance and social status that guilds had at the time and much of the original façade remains, rendering the home a popular stop among architecture aficionados. Visitors will encounter intricate Baroque work and a corner balcony featuring a figure of Our Lady of Angels, as well as interior rooms decorated with fine wood, silk walls and religious items, such as an ivory Christ figure and a 17th-century cabinet decorated with religious paintings.
