At the turn of the last century, it was the heart of the modernist movement in architecture, examples of which are everywhere in both public buildings and private houses. But Barcelona has architectural treasures from every age, from twisting medieval streets and renaissance palaces to its recently completed art museum. Both Miro and Picasso were from Barcelona, which today continues its tradition of cutting-edge modern art. The Barcelona Institute will organize visits of legal interest, such as to the courts, which began jury trials for specific crimes in 1996. Informal talks will be held with judges, practitioners, or faculty members on international topics.
