REQUEST THE LOCATION

Noucentist building (inaugurated in 1927) made with stones, with an irregular structure and a very decorated façade. On the lower part there are arches (in the central part) and a porch that in its lateral spaces communicate with the backyard. It has two more recent construction wings that extend it and extend it and shatter the construction, since these two annexes are of a degenerate rationalist style that degrades the old structure. So while this one is totally of stone, the new one is of aluminum and blue glass.

The complex also has a library, a sports center and a gym, laboratories, technology workshops, music classrooms, art workshops, a dining room / bar and an event’s hall. 

Event's Hall

The event’s hall stands out on the first floor of the central building. It is accessed through a central door topped by a scarp arch and consists of two floors (the second one reserved in the stands). The paranymph presents an open space without columns and of high altitude with a Christian cross plant 20 m long and 16.5 m wide. Both arms have a width of 7 meters. 

The atrium is presided over by three large windows crowned with three half-point arches. All openings are made with stained glass ornamented with floral motifs. The three bodies are divided by pilasters with moldings crowned by two heralds with the shield of Manresa on the chest.
