Sarriera House

Favorites

Many houses in the city’s old quarter took the opportunity to install workshops. The Sarriera family produced fine fabrics in this house of medieval origin.

Cultural heritage

Drawings of the building from 1789 help to identify it as a fabric factory, probably specialising in muslin. Muslin was a thin transparent fabric made mainly out of silk but also of cotton, originally from Iraq and later from East India. Originating from the popular Indianans, it started to be manufacture in Catalonia’s most modern factories. Note that the Sarriera factory house also preserves the remains of an old medieval house.
