Cooperative Winery of Barberà de la Conca

Modernist cooperative winery situated south of the village of Barberà de la Conca (Conca de Barberà), built between 1920 and 1921 by the architect Cèsar Martinell i Brunet, commissioned by the local Agricultural Union, with financial help from the Bank of Valls; the water tank tower was completed in 1929. It is organised in two parallel rectangular naves, with parabolic brick arches, and is laid out in an unloading dock, a processing nave and storage and fermentation naves with vats and tanks of reinforced concrete, then a novel technique. The main facade, facing west, is composed of three levels -a stone plinth, a plain wall with windows and an upper cornice- and stands out for the water tank tower, with forms similar to the village's Baroque bell tower.
