Complex Central Egara, Police headquarters in Sabadell, Spain.
The Complex Central Egara is the central headquarters of Catalonia's police force in Sabadell, comprising four main buildings designed to house approximately 2000 employees. The site features multiple specialized facilities including training rooms, sports halls, and a swimming pool.
Construction began in 2009 under the design of the architectural firm Laviña de la Villa as a major investment in regional police infrastructure. The facility was built to serve as the operational hub for Catalonia's growing law enforcement needs.
The facility houses the Mossos d'Esquadra, reflecting Catalonia's own police institution separate from national forces. Visitors can sense the regional importance of this headquarters in how it operates as a command center for the territory.
The complex is located near the N-150 road with parking available for 550 vehicles, making it accessible by car for those with legitimate business. Visitors should be aware that this is an active police headquarters and general public access is restricted.
The complex features specialized training units including dedicated facilities for a canine team and a helipad for operations. Few visitors know that it contains underground training areas specifically designed for specialized water rescue operations.
