About Sant Feliu Abandoned Cement Factory
A quarry whose operation began in 1920 in the southeast foothill of Puig de Olorda was enlarged by the addition of another older quarry called Can Ferrers o Can Farras, located further north, with both quarries then included in the Sanson concession. Most parts of the quarry are within the Sant Feliu de Llobregat township, although the northern front of the open pit is within the Molins de Rei township and the east front of the open pit is within the Barcelona township.
The modern cement factory dates from 1967 until it's closure as an operational factory in early 2000s. From the quarries Silurian-Devonian limestone was extracted for the cement manufacturing and transported to the factory via giant aerial conveyor belts. The factory was owned by Cemex but was purchased by molins cementos shortly before operations ceased.
