Casa Rocamora is an Elizabethan mansion in Barcelona's El Putxet district that was once home to Manuel Rocamora Vidal (1892-1976), the renowned clothing collector. From a young age he was drawn to collecting, specialising in ancient clothing. He gathered more than four thousand pieces that gave rise to the Textile and Costume Museum of Barcelona, Rocamora Collection, in 1969.
In the 1930s, he acquired an Elizabethan mansion situated in El Putxet, where he took up residence. His passion for collecting led him to gather collections of Alcora ceramics, paintings, drawings and sculptures from the 19th and 20th centuries (Ramón Casas, Manolo Hugué, Vallmitjana...) which can still be found today in the place where he used to reside.
During the guided visit, you'll explore the house where Manuel Rocamora lived, along with his art collections and the garden.
