El Born Centre Cultural opened on 11 September 2013. In its first year of operation, with a cultural offering of over 300 activities and coinciding with the commemoration of the Tricentenary of 1714, it has welcomed over 2 million visitors. The figures for this first year seem to indicate that this facility, which links the city’s historic legacy and contemporary culture, has become fully integrated into the life of our people and of the neighbourhood where it is set.
