IF THE DINNER WITH STARS LEFT YOU WANTING MORE
During the guided tour of the Dinner with Stars we learn that the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Barcelona (RACAB) has managed the Fabra Observatory since 1904. We also discover that the Fabra was not its first Observatory, but the same building in which today the RACAB is located, known on Las Ramblas for the Poliorama theater.
This beautiful building with two towers with domes on top and a striking clock on the façade, announces not only its ancient dedication to astronomy, especially astrometry, but also its function of calculating the official time of Barcelona.
At the inside, more than 250 years full of curiosities take us on an exciting journey: books on botany and quantum physics prohibited by the Church, the most bizarre astronomical clock created in 1869 by Albert Billeter and the famous conference by Albert Einstein in 1923 speaking about his theory of relativity for the first time in Catalonia.
