La Fábrica is a former cement factory that was converted to offices and habitation space in the 1970s by Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura (RBTA).
[3] Ricardo Bofill and his Taller de Arquitectura spotted the site in 1972, purchased it in 1973 and initiated a process of partial destruction and reinvention, demolishing parts of the industrial structures to reveal hidden forms.
The entire complex was planted with lush gardens, including some on rooftops, to create the feeling of an oasis within the surrounding industrial area.
[6] Whereas it is not ordinarily open to the public, it was the venue for a two-day event to celebrate Bofill's memory on January 26 and 27, 2022, in which thousands of visitors participated.
It currently includes a restaurant and observation point called El Mirador de Sant Just, as well as the Music Club Walden in renovated silos of the former factory.
