Rubí

Located 15 kilometers from Barcelona, Rubí extends across 32 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 123 meters above sea level.

The settlement, established in 986 as Rivo Rubeo, gained strategic importance during the border conflicts between Al-Andalus and Catalan counties.

The Ecomuseu Castell de Rubí, housed in a 13th-century castle, presents exhibitions documenting the transformation from agricultural to industrial society.

The municipality maintains eleven public elementary schools, four middle schools, three health centers, and direct railway connections to Barcelona.

The 1962 flood event transformed the agricultural landscape along the Riera de Rubí, leading to significant changes in local land use patterns.
