Can Fabra

The old Fàbrica del Rec, which was built towards the end of the 19th century and integrated into the Fabra i Coats factory core in 1916, has become an innovative centre once again, a key work in the district’s cultural and artistic impetus. It’s the headquarters of a cultural centre, the Biblioteca Ignasi Iglésias and the Taller de Músics Escola Superior d’Estudis Musicals. Standing opposite it is the Cibernètica fountain, which includes music in its moving water and lights show.

Jardins de Can Fabra

These gardens have a small lake and a pergola area with climbing plants. A cybernetic fountain is located in front of the Can Fabra building, which was designed by architect Ramon Llopart and unveiled in 1995. A computer program translates the musical notes into jets of water at different strengths and directions, creating a whole range of colourful, synchronised shows and choreographed performances set to music.
