C/ Josep Soldevila and C/ Virgili still preserve the remains of one of the most important factories in the neighbourhood. Today the old admin office is a community centre.

  • Urban spaces

This was one of the largest factories in Sant Andreu. Only the chimney on Carrer Josep Soldevila, the owner’s mansion on Carrer Virgili and one of the old cobblestone streets remain today. Can Portabella, dedicated to spinning flax, was established in Sant Andreu in 1874. In 1884, Portabella merged with the industrial company Fabra and the factory ended up being acquired by the Belgian company Société Lanière Barcelonaise. In the mid-20th century, the factory was closed and the buildings were occupied by small businesses until 1996, when 300 new homes were built on the former grounds of Can Portabella.
