From thread to art: Fabra i Coats' constant evolution.
Fabra i Coats, a former textile factory in Sant Andreu, is a tangible testament to Barcelona's 19th-century industrialization.

The original architecture, featuring high ceilings and exposed brick, has been carefully restored to foster research, production, and dissemination of contemporary art.
