Fabra i Coats, Industrial heritage complex in Sant Andreu de Palomar, Spain
Description
Fabra i Coats is a former factory complex with four floors and two towers, where the brick walls and industrial elements have been preserved. The space spreads generously across multiple areas and creates an open setting for exhibitions and events.
History
The building began as a textile mill and played a central role in Barcelona's industrial growth during the 1800s and 1900s. After production ceased, the site was repurposed and now serves cultural functions.
Culture
The center hosts art exhibitions, performances, and creative workshops that bring together local and international artists. It functions as an open space where people can experiment and share their work with others.
Practical
The site is easily accessible with multiple entrances and clear signage for visitors. If you plan to visit, check the current opening times beforehand, as these can vary depending on events.
Did you know?
The building kept its original structure and materials, giving visitors the sense of stepping into an active factory that still produces, but creativity instead of goods. The two distinctive towers are visible from street level and shape the neighborhood's appearance.
