Please note that the Focus Week in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat will take place from 5th to 10th November, with Can Trinxet open from 10.00 to 20.00.

Can Trinxet is a former textile factory. It was first occupied in 1890 and later became the largest industrial complex in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, a city with magnificent industrial heritage. Often shortened to L’Hospitalet or just L’H, it is the second most populated city of Catalonia, where a great deal of Spanish workers migrated to throughout the 20^th century searching for employment.

The owner which gives name to the factory, Avel·lí Trinxet Casas, commissioned the project in 1905. The property was expanded shortly after its founding due to the growing activity of the business, up to the point where Can Trinxet absorbed the adjacent factory, Can Gras, which is the only building that remains today. This mill is one of the many architectural examples of the growing industrialisation that took place in Catalonia throughout the 19th century, a moment in which the textile industry was the leading socio-economic force in Catalonia, as well as in Spain.
