Free walking tours of the University of Barcelona, taking in the Historic Building and the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, will be held before and after the conference. These tours are open to all delegates and are free to attend.
The University of Barcelona dates back to 1450 CE, when it was founded under the royal prerogative of King Alonso V of Aragon. Visit the Historic Building, the University of Barcelona’s most emblematic site, which stands in the very centre of the city, and the CRAI Rare Book and Manuscript Library, which houses a collection ranking among the largest and most important in the whole of Spain. The tour will include a viewing of some of the illustrated manuscripts held by the library.
