Colònia Rusiñol

A nineteenth-century textile colony on the river Ter

The Colònia was founded in 1845 as a textile colony beside the river Ter, and it was later the home of the artist Santiago Rusiñol. Today the old factory is an events complex that also runs cultural visits, so a wedding weekend can include the Museu del Ter or a walk through the river landscapes.

The spaces are large, and each has its own size. La Filatura, on the ground floor with adapted access, covers 888 square metres and takes 500 people. El Taller holds 350. Les Golfes, El Magatzem, El Laboratori and the Sala 1912 each hold 100. Outdoors there are the 2,900 square metre factory gardens, the 1,690 square metre Esplanada del Canal, which is good for open-air parties, and the 13,420 square metre Esplanada del Riu between the factory and the river, with direct access to parking.
