Can Ricart, 19th-century industrial complex in Provençals del Poblenou, Spain
The industrial complex features a clock tower, chimney stacks, and combines Neoclassical architecture with industrial design elements across its multiple buildings.
Can Ricart began operations in 1853 as a textile printing factory, marking the beginning of industrial development in the Poblenou district of Barcelona.
The complex now houses Hangar, a Visual Arts Research and Production Centre that supports local and international artists through workspaces and technical resources.
Barcelona City Council oversees the 6,800-square-meter facility, which includes workshops, laboratories, exhibition spaces, and meeting rooms for creative activities.
