| | Terrassa - Introduction |
 | | Terrassa is known chiefly as one of the major industrial cities in Catalonia. |
 | | The serious economic crisis of the 1970s led to the closure of large numbers of textile businesses in Terrassa, and some of the most representative buildings were converted into museums, exhibition halls, offices for service-sector concerns, and apartments. |
 | | The former workshops and vapors (factories), the houses and chimneys, provide a first-hand glimpse of the architecture, arts, and life-style of the city in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. |
