Manresa Water and Textile Museum

If you are interested in witnessing the evolution of the textile sector that has significantly influenced Catalonia from the late Middle Ages to today, then the Water and Textile Museum in Manresa is essential. Located just a short distance from Montserrat, this museum will guide you through the story and transformation of the Catalan textile sector in an unexpected way. Were you aware that Manresa once set an international standard?

Opened in 1992 within the city's former water storage facilities, the museum features two permanent exhibitions. These exhibitions delve into the significance of water access in the city, marked by the construction of the Sèquia de Manresa, alongside the historical development of the textile industry.

Visitors can view operational machinery from various periods and gain insights into the Sèquia de Manresa, a remarkable 26-kilometer (16-mile) canal built in the 14th century to supply the city with water, which remains functional to this day!

Additionally, you will uncover the legacy, applications, and unique aspects of Manresa's celebrated textile craft: ribbon-making. This is a cultural experience unlike any other, perfect for individuals and families alike.
