The Institut Pau Claris (Ciutat Vella) is on Passeig de Lluís Companys, very close to Ciutadella Park and the Sant Pere, La Ribera and Santa Caterina neighbourhoods. Its building is part of the Grup Escolar Pere Vila, designed by the architect Josep Goday i Casals in the context of the educational programme launched by the Catalan political authorities in 1917. Its construction was completed during the Second Republic. The school complex also includes the Escola Pere Vila and a third building that contains a library and auditorium.
