Fabra i Coats was a large industrial site with cotton spinning factory employing 3000 people in the early 20th century. The boiler room housed 5 boilers and a steam engine and consumed 70 tonnes of coal a day. The factory declined from the 1970s and closed in 2005. A portion of the industrial site has since been refurbished as a cultural centre, the Centre Can Fabra, housing a library, startup companies, artist studios, contemporary arts centre and community and social centres. The remaining factory is destined to also become a cultural space. Picture by Manuel Cohen
