The centre is placed in the last residence of Joan Maragall, at Alfons XII street, in the neighbourhood of Sant Gervasi, Barcelona.

[1] It is a reserve section of the National Library of Catalonia and is open to researchers of the poet's work.

It is also a historic house museum that displays the interior of the last residence of the poet and which can be viewed by guided tour or individual visit.

The Archive was established shortly after the death of the poet, in 1911, by his widow, Clara Noble,[2] who put together the first edition of his complete works and collected his documentary legacy.

The house contains works by artists like Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas, Joaquim Sunyer, Joquim Mir, Josep Clarà, Manolo Hugué and the brothers, Josep i Joan Llimona, as well as photographs and portraits of figures, cities and venues.
