Orfenat Ribas, Modernist school building in Sant Genís dels Agudells, Spain

The Orfenat Ribas features four pavilions arranged in symmetrical formation with a central church displaying terracotta ornamental elements on its facade.

Built between 1920 and 1930, the Orfenat Ribas was founded by textile industrialists, the Ribas Regordosa brothers, to provide education for workers' children.

The structure represents a transition in architectural styles, combining elements of popular Baroque and neo-Baroque within its Catalan modernist framework.

Currently operating as IES Vall d'Hebron, the building maintains its educational purpose while preserving its architectural heritage at Pg. Vall d'Hebron, 93-101.

The former chapel of this educational complex has been transformed into a library, adapting historical spaces for contemporary learning requirements.
