The Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona's emblematic opera house, is located halfway down the busy Las Ramblas and very near to the Liceu metro station.
Founded in 1847, the building has not escaped tragedy over the years. After being rebuilt following a fire in 1861 it became Spain's most famous opera house, a haven for the intellectual classes in the late 19th century. The Liceu was destroyed again in 1893 when an anarchist threw two bombs into the stalls during a performance of William Tell.
