Sant Feliu de Llobregat

Sant Feliu de Llobregat (Catalan: [ˈsaɱ fəˈliw ðə ʎuβɾəˈɣat]) is an industrial city and municipality in Catalonia, Spain, in the province of Barcelona.

[4] The Riera de la Salut flows from the mountains through the city and ends in the Llobregat river, it is usually dry as it only carries water after heavy rain.

In the seventeenth century, Jaime Falguera built a palace in the town, with extensive grounds stretching to the river Llobregat.

Until recently the property remained in the family of the Marquis of Castellbell, noble descendants of Falguera, and the palace was used into the twentieth century.

Steam-driven textile factories came early to the town: Bertrand (1861) and Solà and Sert (1893) are the most important firms today.

[6] King Alfonso XIII made Sant Feliu a city in 1929 and in 1936 it became the capital of Baix Llobregat.

The ancient church of Saint Lawrence, built in 1524, rebuilt after the Civil War and since 2005 a cathedral.
