The Terracotta Ceramics Museum

The factory definitively stopped its industrial activity in 1984, and three years later it was acquired by the city council and was renovated to install the museum.

The integration into the exhibition of some of the elements of the production process (rafts, chimneys, ovens ...) makes the building one of the most outstanding objects of the Museum.

One of the main economic engines of the city has been set up as a result, increasing to an important percentatge the employment of the local population.

On the other hand, we are faced with an activity that starts from time backwards (the first documentary news that gives the reason of the potter's office in La Bisbal was in 1511).
