AIA Spring Tour

Catalonia 12th – 18th May 2025

Catalunya tends to value most its heritage that distinguishes it from the rest of Spain. So the Romanesque and Gothic architecture, largely built while the rest of the Peninsular was under Arabic Muslim control, is treasured. Since the return of Catalan autonomy from 1979, the industrial heritage has been also valued, since it was also a distinct experience to most of Spain during the C19 and most of the C20. A unique territorial museum system was developed which built on the dispersed and specialised nature of industrial activities in the region, with some 25 separate conserved and interpreted sites, known as the Sistema del mNACTEC, the national industrial museum of Catalunya.
