Granollers

Granollers (Catalan: [ɡɾənuˈʎes]; Spanish: [ɡɾaˈnoʝers] ⓘ) is a city in central Catalonia, about 30 kilometres north-east of Barcelona.

Granollers is now a bustling business centre, having grown from a town dominated by Catalonia's textile industry that was prominent during the 19th Century.

During the Spanish Civil War, in May 1938, the Bombing of Granollers was carried out by Italian bombers, resulting in 100-200 civilian fatalities.

[citation needed] La Porxada, is a Renaissance building which served as a grain storehouse, emblematic of the town.

On Corró street, there is the ancient hospital of Sant Domènec, now the Francesc Tarafa theatre, a good example of restored Gothic architecture.
