The former water supply point for the city's northern neighbourhoods, today the Casa de l'Aigua is an emblematic cultural attraction.

  • Cultural heritage

Incredible architectural and heritage value

The importance of the Casa de l'Aigua in Trinitat Nova stems from its architectural clarity and its construction typology. In fact, it isone of the first buildings in Barcelona constructed with reinforced concrete. The Modernista complex, designed by the engineers Felip Steva i Planas and Joan Sitjes, forms part of the city's heritage.

The original complex, which closed in 1989, consisted of a water pumping station in Trinitat Vella, chlorination pavilions and a tank in Trinitat Nova, and an underground tunnel that connected the two facilities and extended towards Collserola.

Space belonging to the Museu d'Història de Barcelona 

Today,  the Casa de l'Aigua is a space belonging to the Museu d'Història de Barcelona which tells the history of the city's water supply through four permanent exhibitions (‘The Water Revolution in Barcelona’, ‘From the Pre-industrial World to the Environmental Challenge’, ‘Barcelona: Water, Climate and City’) and a display of objects related to obtaining, distributing, consuming and using water from the Ròmul Gavarró Collection. Moreover,  the tunnel connecting the two water houses can be visited.

The facility also houses La Casa de l'Aigua Environmental Classroom and has an urban allotment.
