  • Urban spaces

A Modernista factory

Created in 1896, this factory operated during the golden years of the Catalan textile industry, specialising in the production of cotton and wool. There were mechanical looms, looms for corduroy, machines for starching, machines for spinning and even areas for dyes and woven fabrics. It was a Modernista-style building, which had an exposed-brick outer wall with geometric decorations.

The surviving chimney

This chimney, standing in the square which, since 1998, has been called Can Galta Cremat (the factory’s nickname) is the only element that has been preserved.
