Terrassa

Terrassa extends across the Catalan Prelitoral depression at 277 meters elevation, surrounded by natural parks and located 28 kilometers from Barcelona.

The settlement evolved from the Roman town of Egara, established during Emperor Vespasian's rule between 69-79 CE, later becoming a Visigothic episcopal center.

The National Museum of Science and Technology occupies the Vapor Aymerich Amat i Jover building, displaying collections of industrial machinery and technological innovations.

The city connects to Barcelona through two railway networks, the RENFE and Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat, plus direct access via C-58 and C-16 motorways.

The Sant Pere church complex contains three preserved religious buildings from the 6th and 7th centuries, featuring Visigothic and Romanesque architectural elements.
