The Caixafòrum is in the building of the
old Casaramona textile factory, work of the Modernist architect
Josep Puig i Cadafalch. It has been totally remodelled today
and functions as a cultural centre dedicated to exhibitions,
music, literature, media library, etc.
There are two reserved car parking places in the street, on the
road opposite. Moreover in Avinguda Reina Maria Cristina there
is a municipal underground car park with lift, where the two
places reserved for disable persons are suitably indicated. It
does not connect directly with the building, so that to enter
you must first go outside. Access is by lift or stairs from the
street.
It is possible to visit the Modernist building. In the case of
groups of people in wheelchairs, you should inform when registering
so that the route can be adapted.
The different floors are linked by several spacious lifts. Room
3 is the only one which is entered from the back part, from the
ground floor lift. The auditorium is on level ground and people
in wheelchairs can watch from the last row. There are several
correctly adapted toilet facilities. The permanent exhibition
has audio guides at a price of 2 e. Guided visits are also organised
for deaf people, whether through sign language or oralism (Tel.
93 476 86 35). The outside signposting could be better, since
the colours used have little contrast.
The restaurant, in the same building, serves Mediterranean cuisine.
The menus vary according to the exhibitions.
The Caixafòrum offers
a very varied programme of cultural activities.
