Reales Fábricas de Bronce y Latón de Riópar, Historic industrial complex in Riópar, Spain.
The Reales Fábricas complex consists of multiple buildings dedicated to bronze and brass production, with separate areas for manufacturing and metal processing.
Established in 1773 by Austrian engineer Juan Jorge Graubner, these factories became Spain's first brass production facility and the world's second after Goslar.
The museum displays original machinery, tools, and manufactured items that demonstrate the evolution of metalworking techniques from the 18th to 20th centuries.
The museum opens Monday through Thursday from 10:00 to 12:45, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays, offering guided tours at 2 euros per adult.
The factories operated continuously for 223 years until 1996, producing metal items that received gold and silver medals at international exhibitions.
