THE REMAINS OF THE OLD PUIGMARTÍ COTTON FACTORY UNCOVERED UNDERNEATH THE ABACERIA MARKET

The construction process of the Abacería Market makes way to the archaeological excavation work in the subsoil, uncovering the remains of the Puigmartí textile factory from the 19th centry, which were already known and are now being documented. They occupy practically the entire surface of the site and correspond to a part of the main building of the factory, the northern sector with constructions and outbuildings and the factory courtyard.

The work is also making it possible to document a set of vineyard ditches from an earlier period that could date back to the 17th-18th centuries.

The works will last until the beginning of April.
