The Manolo Safont Tile Museum in Onda is dedicated to ceramics for architectural use and holds more than 20,000 pieces, from Gothic tilework to contemporary pieces, documenting the town's centuries-old ceramic and tile-making tradition; the town is known as the ciutat del taulell (the city of tiles). Particularly notable are the collections from Onda's 19th- and 20th-century ceramic workshops and industries, both for their quality and their quantity, together with machinery, tools and documentary archives -drawings, catalogues and photographs- on the manufacture, design and marketing of tiles.
