Colonia de Santa Eulalia
Highlight • Historical Site
Architecturally, the complex combines influences from the industrial and modernist styles and follows a clear, planned urban layout with two central squares and a main road connecting the entire complex. However, over the course of the 20th century, the colonia lost its economic importance, many buildings fell into disrepair, and today the site is partially abandoned. Despite its deterioration, the Colonia de Santa Eulalia was recognized as a Cultural Property of Special Interest (Bien de Interés Cultural) in 2016 and is thus protected. It is considered a fascinating example of an idealistic vision of social and economic community in 19th-century Spain.
An unreal place, time seems to have stood still a century ago. The buildings are half-ruined, yet very imposing. In addition to the workers' houses, a large flour and alcohol factory were built, as well as a theater, a manager's house, a casino, an inn, a train station, various wineries, warehouses, and oil mills. The buildings were organized around two squares, with the main square centered around the hermitage of Santa Eulalia. Some buildings and their functions are still recognizable.
