Borgonyà, Industrial settlement in Sant Vicenç de Torelló, Spain.

The industrial complex features northern European architectural designs along the Ter River, with residential buildings and manufacturing facilities spread across the terrain.

Scottish company Coats established this industrial settlement in 1895, developing it into the largest manufacturing colony in the Ter River basin region.

The settlement earned the local nickname 'els anglesos' due to its British founders, reflecting the strong influence of Scottish industrial culture in Catalonia.

The community center provides numerous services, including schools, a theater, sports fields, a railway stop, a post office, and medical facilities.

The industrial colony maintains its original nineteenth-century urban layout with separated areas for factory operations and worker residences.
