Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi

The Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi (Catalan pronunciation: [rəˈjal əkəˈðɛmi.ə kətəˈlanə ðə ˈβeʎəz ˈaɾts ðə ˈsaɲ ˈʒɔɾði], in English "Royal Catalan Academy of Fine Arts of Saint George") is a Catalan art school located in Barcelona.

The institution was founded as a cost-free school of painting, sculpture and architecture under the former name Escola Gratuïta de Disseny by the Catalan trade council in 1775.

In 1849 the school became a member of the provincial academies of arts in Spain (Acadèmies Provincials de Belles Arts), and in 1900 it became autonomous.

In 1930 the RACBASJ lost its provincial character and thenceforward it has perceived itself as the Catalan academy of arts.

The courses offered include also music and other fine arts.
