Nativity scenes are a celebration of life at Christmastime. Each year, the Barcelona nativity in Plaça Sant Jaume is created by a different artist, and pays homage to local holiday and cultural traditions.

This year’s Nativity Scene is a landscape featuring characters spread about on balconies and roof terraces, as well as the respective façades of the Catalan government's headquarters and the City Hall. 

The project has been created by architect Jordi Darder, who insists that he would not have been able to pull it off without a number of collaborators' involvement and enthusiasm.

This year the decorations it will extend from the Rambla to Via Laietana along C/ Ferran and C/ Jaume I, with an offering that is even more innovative and inclusive than ever.
