History and description:
Designed by Cèsar
Martorell i Brunet and built in 1919.
This cellar is one of the most impressive
Wine Cathedrals
built by Cèsar Martinell.
Martorell designed not only the building itself, but also the spaces to
develop the production process, the machinery distribution, the fermentation
processes, the design of liquid containers, the isolation systems.
The design of building take the inspiration from the traditional
construction techniques of Catalonia: Martorell used profusely
the Catalan "totxo" (brick) around the windows and columns and
ceramics for decoration.
The ceramic designs, made by Xavier Nogués, represent scenes of traditional
treatment of grapes and
wine production. |
