Farinera Teixidor

Farinera Teixidor is an early 20th-century flour mill in Girona featuring stone facades adorned with glazed ceramics, parabolic arches, and ornamental ironwork. The complex includes multiple connected structures that were expanded over time to accommodate different production stages.

Rafael Masó i Valentí designed the mill complex between 1910 and 1911 as a modern industrial facility. Additional storage buildings were added in 1923 to support the growing milling operations.

The building connects to local ceramic workshops from Bisbal and showcases how industrial spaces were treated as works of art in Catalonia. Visitors can see how functional mills were decorated with the same care given to public monuments.

The building is located near the old town and its ornamental details and ceramic work are clearly visible from the street. Though it now functions as office space, visitors can appreciate the architectural design from outside without needing interior access.

The ornamental ironwork throughout the building was crafted by Nonito Cadenas, a local blacksmith from Girona, following designs by Masó. This collaboration between architect and artisan highlights how local craftspeople were essential to creating modernist industrial works.
