'La Casa de la Ciutat‘ is the building that houses the offices of the City of Barcelona. It has more than 6 centuries of history and architectural presence ranging from the Gothic to Neoclassical. Government offices and meeting rooms coexist with historic artwork in the form of sculptures, tapestries and paintings.

The giants are hollow papier-maché figures usually three or four metres meters tall that show the upper part of the figure and have a skirt covering the lower part. "Capgrossos" are smaller papier-maché figures with huge heads that are worn on the head and shoulders often by children. The person wearing a "capgrosso" looks out through the mouth opening. Gegants and capgrossos can be seen at most Catalan festivals in the opening "cercavila" parade, which literally means "around the village." Districts and neighborhoods each have their own festival figures and during the big festivals, like the annual Merce Festival in Barcelona, all the giants and other figures of the city come together for the big parades.Los Gigantes Jaime I y Violante de Hungria
