Parc de l'Espanya Industrial
Steel, water, and industrial memory in Sants.
THE VENUE
Located in Sants, Parc de l'Espanya Industrial occupies the site of the former La España Industrial textile factory, active until 1972. Opened in 1985 following a neighborhood movement that halted housing construction, this park stands as a testament to urban reconversion and land recovery in Barcelona. Designed by Luis Peña Ganchegui, Antón Pagola, and Montserrat Ruiz, its postmodern aesthetic features nine lighthouse towers guarding an artificial lake. The ensemble includes Andrés Nagel's iron dragon sculpture, which doubles as a slide, and restored pieces from the 1929 International Exhibition, such as Neptune by Manuel Fuxà, Venus by José Pérez Peresejo, and the Bulls of Abundance by Antoni Alsina. It offers a unique blend of industrial memory and contemporary art intervention.
