The Roca Umbert Factory is a former textile factory that has been transformed into an arts and culture centre. Its origins date back to 1904, when the first looms were installed. Commissioned by Josep Umbert, the company grew steadily amid industrialisation and the rapid consolidation of the Catalan textile sector.

Roca Umbert has two buildings dedicated to contemporary artistic research and production: Espai d’Arts, dedicated to visual arts, and Centre d’Arts en Moviment. Another notable element of the factory is the Tèrmica, a space built in the 1950s which created a direct electricity supply to avoid production interruptions caused by constant power cuts. This space opened in December 2023 as a museum.

The Roca Umbert Factory has been renovated as a symbol of Granollers’ industrial past and turned into a so-called Factory of the Arts. This is a cultural space in constant transformation and at the service of creative processes and the artistic training of citizens.
