Castell dels Tres Dragons recent events

The Castell dels Tres Dragons in Ciutadella Park is undergoing a major renovation and will soon become a multipurpose auditorium. The project, estimated to cost €8 million, includes the exterior renovation of the façade, roofs, and balconies and is expected to be ready by Q1 2027.

The Castell dels Tres Dragons, designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner for the 1888 Universal Exposition, has been closed to the general public since the former Zoology Museum closed its doors in 2011. However, work is currently underway on the exterior renovation of the Castle, a €8 million project that includes the façade, roofs, and balconies. The large room on the first floor will be restored to become a multipurpose auditorium, allowing the space to be adapted for both scientific conferences and cultural events. The Castell dels Tres Dragons is the centerpiece of a larger renovation project that includes the recently refurbished Hivernacle, the Martorell Exhibition Center, and the Umbracle, forming a scientific and cultural hub aimed at making Barcelona a European benchmark for science communication.
