About this event
Martín Rodrigo Alharilla, the historian who has done most to trace where slaving fortunes landed, closes the series by following the money from the Spanish Antilles into Barcelona buildings, banks and businesses. If you have ever wondered who paid for parts of the Eixample, this is the lecture that names them, and it costs nothing to attend.
