Sabadell has served as a wool-textile manufacturing centre in Catalonia since the 19th century. The River Ripoll runs along the city’s eastern side, where former mills and industrial sites recall the period when Sabadell was one of Spain’s principal textile towns. Its urban fabric also includes Modernista landmarks, notably the Torre de l’Aigua, a water tower completed in 1918 and now a defining local symbol. Today, Sabadell combines this industrial inheritance with its role as a major city in the Barcelona metropolitan area.
