Cooperativa Obrera Mataronina, Industrial heritage building in Mataró, Spain

The Cooperativa Obrera Mataronina features twelve catenary arches designed by Antoni Gaudí, marking his first use of this structural element in architecture.

Built between 1878 and 1882, the complex originally included a casino, worker housing, and a factory, though only the bleaching warehouse and service building remain today.

The building represents an early example of industrial architecture combined with social initiatives, reflecting the cooperative movement prevalent in late 19th century Catalonia.

The restored building now houses the Bassat Collection of Contemporary Art of Catalonia and maintains its status as a Cultural Asset of National Interest.

The structure contains separate designated service areas for men and women, an innovative feature for industrial buildings of the 1880s.
