August 19, World Photography Day

19/08/2025

Today photography is celebrating, it is World Photography Day!

Considered one of the most important inventions of mankind, photography is among us today like never before. Technological advances and the capacity of the smartphones that we carry in our pockets allow millions and millions of photographs to be taken every day around the world.

But its origins must be found in August 19, 1839, when the French state patented the daguerreotype, which can be called the first approach to modern photography. To commemorate that anniversary every August 19, the international day of this special technique is celebrated that allows us to record moments and emotions!

We invite you to explore Catalonia from end to end and immortalize every detail with your camera (or mobile)!
