• Cement Factory Museum (Castellar de n’Hug)  -  Tel. 93 825 70 37  -  www.museuciment.cat

At the end of the nineteenth century, the count Eusebi Güell, architect Antoni Gaudí's sponsor, entrusted the construction of the first Portland cement factory in Catalonia. It was built in the area of Clot del Moro, in the municipality of Castellar de n'Hug, in order to take advantage of the amounts of limestone. The history of the Asland cement factory in Clot del Moro has experienced great years and declining and silent periods. The factory was closed down thirty years ago, after almost 75 years producing Portland cement.
