Santa Caterina Market, Premio a la Permanencia
We are honoured to announce that the restoration of Santa Caterina Market has received the Premio a la Permanencia at the Premios Arquitectura 2026, organised by CSCAE.
Twenty years after its completion, Santa Caterina continues to be recognised as a living fragment of the city: a place where market, public life, housing, memory, archaeology, infrastructure and everyday rituals coexist. The award acknowledges architecture’s capacity to remain meaningful beyond its moment of completion: to stay active, generous and closely connected to the civic life of Barcelona.
Our sincere thanks to CSCAE for this recognition, and to all those who made this project possible: to Barcelona, to the neighbours, to the market workers and to everyone who continues to give life to a project so important for the city.
