Old Estrella Damm Factory (Antigua Fabrica Estrella Damm)
The Basics
The industrial style of the building—with exposed brickwork, stucco, and a conical chimney—reflects early 20th-century factory architecture, and throughout the historical building many manufacturing relics have been preserved, including machinery, bronze boilers, and beer barrels. A permanent exhibition in the former brewing room explains the history of the brand. Many people visit the building and space to attend an event or festival, including the popular annual BAM Festival and La Mercè Festival.
