  • Living Nativity Scene of Torre del Suro

    Living Nativity Scene of Torre del Suro

    Organised by Taller Sant Camil, an occupational center that provides care for people with intellectual disabilities, the living Nativity scene of Torre del Suro is staged every year next to the modernist building known as Torre del Suro in the district of El Guinardó, as well as inside the forest located in the back of the Casa de Repòs. In this representation, four static scenes of diverse themes are displayed and visitors discover them by following an itinerary. They depict various themes such as lost professions, traditional scenes, or biblical passages. With a very well-achieved lighting, the ambiance of these scenes creates a very interesting atmosphere. Moreover, the actors (all of them with intellectual disabilities) prepare with great enthusiasm throughout the year this life-size Nativity scene.
