Nous avons été accueillis très cordialement et agréablement surpris par notre visite de la Bibliothèque publique Arus, à Barcelone, en Espagne. De l'extérieur, rien ne permet d'imaginer combien l'intérieur est un petit trésor. Dans l'entrée, une réplique de la Statue de la Liberté vous accueille. Une salle de lecture avec luminosité naturelle se trouve au fond. Les collections d'ouvrages historiques, notamment sur la franc-maçonnerie, peuvent être admirées dans des présentoirs. Les casiers de fiches rappellent qu'avant l'arrivée de l'internet, les recherches étaient manuelles. Les photographes de Photolator espèrent y retourner!

A hidden gem in the heart of Barcelona! The Arús Public Library is not only a quiet and cozy reading space, but also a beautiful historical space with a fascinating interior. Great for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a peaceful spot to read or study. The Masonic symbols and antique decor make it truly unique. Staff are friendly and respectful of the calm atmosphere.
