Museu del Ciment

The Museu del Ciment occupies a former factory building and displays the machinery and equipment that workers used in cement production. The exhibits document the step-by-step process of manufacturing cement and show the tools and devices that were essential to daily operations.

The cement factory was founded in 1904 and became a major economic driver for Catalan industry for many decades. After closure in 1975, the site was later converted into a museum to preserve the region's industrial heritage.

The building reflects the working life that shaped this region for generations, with machinery and worker belongings on display that tell the story of industrial labor. These objects show how the factory was central to the community and how people earned their livelihood here.

You can reach the museum by taking the Cement Train, which travels from La Pobla de Lillet through mountain terrain to the site. The train journey itself is part of the experience, offering views of the landscape and the historic route the factory once depended on.

The building earned recognition as a Cultural Good of National Interest in 2005 for its distinctive industrial architecture from the early factory era. The design and structure clearly show how manufacturing facilities were built and operated over 100 years ago.
