Calle de la Plata https://padlet.com/rebeccasarahfisher/ruzhjew3au87z2yf/wish/2510062399 Where Picasso had his first studio, rented by his father in 1896
Picasso’s first studio was rented by his father in 1896, when Pablo was still fourteen years old. He shared it with Manuel Pallarès, a friend he met in the Fine Arts School. Picasso painted many of his works there, the main of which is Ciencia y Caridad (1897) (Science and Charity), now in the custody of the Picasso Museum. The workshop was located on Calle de la Plata. Plata means silver, and the street may have taken its name from a goldsmith who worked there or because a state treasurer’s office called Casa Larrard was located in the building. 
People have different beliefs about the exact location of the studio. Some people who rely on tradition and some memories believe that it was on the highest floor of house number 5. This house is really charming and seems suitable for a painter's studio. However, others believe that it was in the attic of house number 4, like Palau i Fabre (a writer about Picasso’s works) does.

The Picasso family soon moved to a more spacious and comfortable flat on calle Cristina, number 3, 2nd floor, 2nd door (on the corner of Llauder, number 4, where the entrance was), that is to say, on the same block of houses as Xifré, but at the back. They lived there throughout the 1895-1896 school year.
This small crossroad of streets between the port and the Pla de Palau (Barcelona's old main commercial square), is still preserving the harbor and popular flavour thanks to the second-hand shops and especially because of the occasional market with no shops or stalls, which is based on the prestige of real or supposed contraband.

Calle de la Mercè,number 3, 2nd floor 1st door. https://padlet.com/rebeccasarahfisher/ruzhjew3au87z2yf/wish/2510070873 It was the adress that the family occupied since the summer of 1896 (the building doesn't exist anymore)
In the summer of 1896, the Picasso family moved to a nearly neighborhood, la Mercè, with an ancient tradition and event stately, as the simple fact that the church of la Mercè, dedicated to the Saint of Barcelona, is located there demonstrated. The Picasso family rented an apartment in Mercè street, number 3, 2nd floor, 1st door, and they remainded there even after Pablo. Picasso left Paris. When the artist would visit from a visit to Barcelona for a stay of short time, like the one he did in 1917 with Olga Khokhlova, he used again this family house. The building, that was in the corner of the little Alley Louis Braille, was recently torn down.]]> 2023-03-09 10:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccasarahfisher/ruzhjew3au87z2yf/wish/2510070873 1.
