Bombas Gens, Art Deco industrial building in La Saïdia, Valencia, Spain.
The former pump factory features distinctive Art Deco facades with ceramic bricks, galvanized steel elements, and four converted warehouse exhibition spaces spanning 2,600 square meters.
Built in 1930 by architect Cayetano Borso di Carminati as Bombas Hidráulicas Carlos Gens factory, the building operated until 1991 before undergoing complete renovation in 2017.
The Fundació Per Amor a L'Art transformed this industrial site into an art center that presents contemporary exhibitions while maintaining its architectural heritage.
The center contains exhibition halls, a restaurant, a daycare facility for children, foundation offices, and gardens with hackberry trees and sandstone pathways.
A 15th-century cellar and Civil War air-raid shelter remain preserved within the complex, visible through a glass footbridge above the original medieval tiling.
Location: La Zaidía
