    The design on the façade indicates this building was the shoe guild. Try to find the shoe-shaped decoration.


  • Description:

    • Featuring shoes that fit Barcelona's famous Colon statue, this collection includes footwear as diverse as Roman sandals and modern platform boots, along with cobblers' tools and machinery dating from different periods of history. The shoes for the Colon are so big they gained an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. You'll find this little museum in a medieval house in the old part of town that was once the shoemakers' guild headquarters.
