Ca l'Aranyó, Industrial heritage site in El Parc i la Llacuna del Poblenou, Barcelona, Spain.
The Ca l'Aranyó factory complex features two brick buildings with a chimney, incorporating cast-iron columns and traditional Catalan ceramic vaulting techniques in its construction.
Built in 1872 by Josep Marimon following designs from British company Prince Smith, the factory operated as a cotton spinning and weaving facility until 1986.
The factory buildings now serve as part of a university campus, representing the transformation of Barcelona's industrial district into an educational and creative center.
Located within the 22@ technology district, Ca l'Aranyó maintains its original architectural elements while functioning as a modern educational facility for audiovisual studies.
The building combines Manchester-style industrial architecture with local Catalan construction methods, creating a distinctive example of 19th-century factory design.
