Slaughterhouse of Ávila, Heritage industrial building in Ávila, Spain.
The slaughterhouse features brick and granite construction with a central protruding section, housing residences on the ground floor and a leather storage area above.
Built between 1888 and 1890 by architect Ángel Cossin to replace the previous deteriorated facility near the city wall's Mala Aventura gate.
The Neo-Mudéjar architectural style incorporates curved openings, diamond-shaped vents, and traditional Spanish-Islamic design elements throughout the structure.
The building now functions as a contemporary creation center with spaces dedicated to administrative, educational, and cultural activities.
The structure combines traditional timber frames with iron elements in its upper galleries, representing late 19th-century industrial construction techniques.
