Description: The IX Fira de Barcelona in 1936 is a clear example of the international vocation of the Catalan capital. This fair, held at a time of great political and economic effervescence, brought together exhibitors and visitors from all over Europe, turning Barcelona into a meeting point for industry, commerce and innovation. The document shows how the city was projected to the world as an economic and cultural engine, and how the Fair became a space for dialogue between cultures and productive sectors. In the European context between the wars, this initiative reinforced the idea of an open, modern Catalonia with leadership capacity. It is also a testament to how the great exhibitions have contributed to the construction of an interconnected and dynamic Europe.
