Overview

• Mayor Jaume Collboni inaugurated a permanent gallery in a Casa Gran corridor featuring portraits of every mayor since democracy’s restoration in 1979.
• The Ayuntamiento awarded its Gold Medal to former mayors Joan Clos, Jordi Hereu, Xavier Trias and Ada Colau in a Saló de Cent ceremony attended by about 200 guests.
• Designer Miguel Milá’s 1975 frame design was reissued for the gallery after he ceded the rights two months before his death.
• Collboni praised the collective public‐service legacy and noted that political differences have seldom crossed the lines of personal respect among Barcelona’s leaders.
• The PSC-led council used the event to display institutional stability during a period of heightened national political tension.
