Col·legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya (College of Catalan Architects), Barcelona

Opposite the Barcelona Cathedral, the College of Catalan Architects proudly showcases three scaled friezes by Pablo Picasso on its facade, making it a compelling destination in its own right. Originally created on paper, these friezes – Children, Giants, and Flag – were immortalized in stone by Norwegian sculptor Carl Nesjar in 1955. Notably, they are the only outdoor displays of Picasso's artwork. On the Carrer Capellans side, the frieze captures the Cors de Clavé, the groups from the hermitage of Sant Medir, as well as the "fauns" of Arrabassada and Les Planes.
