Cultural Complex Fabrica Imbabura

The Cultural Complex Fabrica Imbabura spans multiple buildings with red brick facades and large windows characteristic of industrial architecture from the early 20th century.

The facility operated as a textile factory until its closure in 1965, employing hundreds of workers and serving as the economic backbone of the Imbabura province.

The complex houses an archaeological and ethnographic museum that presents the textile traditions of Ecuador through permanent exhibitions and educational programs.

Visitors can access guided tours of the facility, which includes a theater, museum spaces, and demonstration areas showcasing local textile production techniques.

The restoration project preserved 80 percent of the original industrial equipment, creating an authentic representation of Ecuador's textile manufacturing heritage.
