The Clock Tower is an old lighthouse located on the city’s Fishermen’s Port. Its structure consists of a square base and a tall tower, topped off by a large-faced clock. Built in 1772, it was designed by engineer Jorge Próspero de Verboom, who oversaw the renovation of the entire port, transforming it into an iconic neighborhood symbol in the 18th century.
One of the most interesting anecdotes about the structure is the important role it played in standardizing the international decimal Metric system that’s observed all over the world today. It happened in 1791, when the Paris Academy of Sciences sought out a unique measurement system for use throughout Europe. The Paris meridian was used as a reference point, concretely for its position between Dunkirk and Barcelona. Well, it just so happens that the lighthouse marked one of the geodesic points where scientist Pierre François André Méchain took the measurements that today serve as the basis of the decimal Metric system. As it happens, the tower stood in an amazingly strategic spot, as its location coincided with the intersection of a parallel and the Paris Meridian. In fact, years later, Ildefons Cerdà too would take this into account, when he plotted Avinguda Paral·lel and Avinguda Meridiana in the course of designing the Eixample expansion; indeed, those two avenues coincide exactly with the imaginary lines referenced by their names.
In the 20th century, as an unintended consequence of improvements made to the Port of Barcelona, the lighthouse was stripped of its principal function; in 1904, the Montjuïc lighthouse was built to replace it, and that structure has lasted to the present day. The designers overseeing the reconstruction declined the possibility of demolishing the iconic original lighthouse, recognizing its iconic symbolism. The perfect compromise was to rebuild it as a clock tower, giving it a new role to play, and one it could keep indefinitely.
This is Streets of Barcelona series that Cristian Mesa Velasquez finished in DECEMBER 2025. It is gallery wrapped so there is no need for a frame. Take time and notice the details in the painting. The splattering of the rain, the rain on the coat and the light and shadow on the legs. The inspiration for this painting comes from sketching scenes of Barcelona in the rain. Also show are other paintings in this series of Barcelona paintings.
Cristian Mesa Velazquez is known for his figurative and portrait paintings done in the realist style. Cristian studied in several of the best art schools in Cuba and now lives in Barcelona, Spain.
Cristian Mesa has won several art prices from several countries around the world including Luxemburg, Spain and Cuba.
Born in Cuba, Mesa proposes an art that is reminiscent of the great masters of drawing, due to the cleanliness of his line that combines with highly contrasting tones. Also shown are new paintings from his Streets of Barcelona and Valencia series".
On February 18th 2013, the set of five buildings that make up the National School of Arts (ENA) and the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) was declared National Monument. The architects Ricardo Porro, Roberto Gottardi and Vittorio Garatti received in Italy the Vittorio de Sica Architecture Award 2012, in recognition of this majestic work.
According to UNESCO, this compound is listed as one of the most important Cuban architectural structures and disseminated internationally. It is considered as a unique and representative monument of an unprecedented historical moment. It fulfills a social and practical function, and also has a high cultural and ideological value, being one of the most outstanding examples of the Modernist Movement in Cuba.
The National School of Art arises from the need to create a system for arts education in Cuba and achieve its expansion throughout the country. Treasuring our cultural traditions, and conceived as a multidisciplinary center, it gathered the best examples of art in all its manifestations to create the first faculty.
For the first time in history, an art school received students from all social classes and regions, making it majority´s right. The selection is based only on the ability and talent of the candidates, which are subject, prior to admission, to very rigorous and grueling tests.
In the first academic courses, students had to overcome two levels of education (elementary and middle), but in 1976 it was created the ISA for university education of their students.
Expansion of education at the National School of Arts
The National School of Arts began teaching four specialties: ballet, music, drama and visual arts. Later modern and folk dance (1965), Circus (1977) and musical spectacle (1993) were added.
Today it has become the main source of professionals and artists in the country, and has been branched to fulfill the educational needs in 47 subsidiaries in all provinces (24 elementary and 23 middle level), Vocational schools of art and Professional schools of art.
The high demand prevailing in these centers has ensured that the artistic and educational work in every school meets professional excellence, and become ambassadors of development achieved by art education in Cuba.
The National School of Arts is a paradigm of Cuban culture. This demonstrates the prestige and respect achieved by our country is that area within and outside our borders, reflected in our artists, which are recognized throughout the world.
