1910 – Fàbrica Casaramona, Barcelona, Spain

Originally built in 1911 as a factory by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, this redbrick Art Nouveau fortress was opened in early 2002 as a center for art exhibits, concerts, lectures, and other cultural events. It comprises 12,000 square metres of floor space. The “La Caixa Foundation” both restored and enlarged the building, adding 6,000 square meters under the original structure to create this multi-purpose cultural and social center.
