La Rajoleria de Paiporta

Monument · Paiporta, L'Horta Sud, Valencia

The former brick and tile factory of Paiporta, converted into an ethnological museum dedicated to the traditional ceramics industry. Housed in the old factory known as the Rajolar de Bauset, the museum opened on 5 October 2000 and the following year became part of the Sistema Valencià de Museus; since 2017 it has also belonged to the Network of Local Ethnological Museums coordinated by the Museu Valencià d'Etnologia. It has three spaces: the permanent gallery, located in the old Hoffmann kilns, dedicated to society and brick production in Paiporta; a temporary gallery on the first floor, with its own collections and those of other institutions; and a glazed annexe room in the gardens, which evokes the old brick-drying sheds.
