The Casarramona Yarn Factory, designed in 1909, is one of the foremost works of the architect Josep Puig I Cadafalch. This is the structure that stands the farthest removed from the architect’s historicist aesthetic, showing a spirit fully in line whit the “Modernista” or Catalan Art Nouveau movement. It has now been rehabilitated by La Caixa Foundation, wich has turned it into a large exhibition hall.

The museum was being established in the Casaramona, a former textile factory. This is why some of the rooms look very indistinct. The complex consists out of 12.000 square meters and is belonging to one of the most beautiful industrial modernista structures of the city. Caixa was designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
