La Linera textile factory

Historical milestone · Parets del Vallès, Vallès Oriental, Barcelona

Antoni Feliu i Peix raised in September 1880 the town's first factory, devoted to cotton and linen, with 28 looms and 38 workers. It closed in 1971 and today it is a public park: there remain the 23-metre chimney, the director's tower and 111 workers' dwellings.
