Manresa: Manresa Water and Textile Museum

The Manresa Water and Textile Museum was introduced in 1992. It is famous for its location in the vaults of the city's impressive water reservoir.

Since 2009, the museum has hosted two outstanding permanent exhibitions that reveal the importance of water for human development. The exhibit about the Parc de la Sèquia shows how the construction of the 26-km canal built in the fourteenth century continues to supply the territory today. Further, the exhibit emphasizes the historical perspective and how the waterway has helped the city's agricultural production and urban planning.

The ribbon exhibition showcases the evolution of the Catalan textile industry from the end of the middle ages to the present. You will learn about this industry's importance in Manresa.

It is a great privilege to be able to access the huge water reservoirs (2,400 square meters) that still conserve the structure, the upper openings, and even the humidity.
