Overview

Discover the deepest secrets of Barcelona! The history of the city is closely related to the freemasonry and the city is full of symbols invisible to the untrained eye. We will help you to find them and to understand their meaning!

At the end of the tour you will have a chance to visit a Lodge where you can get first-hand perspective of the subject.

We adapt this tour to the background of our guests in order to make it interesting for both just curious travelers and the masons themselves.

There we will find plenty of symbols of the medieval Operative masons (Stonemasons) as well as the additions of the more recent Speculative Masons. We will discover the meaning of those misterios signs on the buildings and learn about the acient wisdom of our ancestors, that has always been closely studied and used by the masons. On the way we will find some traces of Knights Templar, who are also considered one of possible predecessors of the modern Freemasonry.
