Halfway between the colony and the urban factory, Can Remisa featured housing, a chapel, a company store, an inn and a small school. Throughout the 1880s, the Rusiñol family expanded the colony and built an imposing manor named Cau Faluga by Santiago Rusiñol, a true gem of industrial modernism. The walled complex, situated between the river and the cultivated fields, is dominated by the chimney—a cylindrical tower over 40 meters tall—and the imposing owners' manor, a building that displays eclectic features, blending romantic and modernist architecture. In several parts of the colony, modernist elements can be found, such as lampposts with wrought-iron detailing, although the colony itself belongs to the pre-modernist style. It is enclosed by a wall made of river stones and cement. The colony was organised linearly, with factory buildings ready for expansion. Parallel to these, the workers' homes and the owner's residence—used seasonally—were located. The colony was also structured around a large open space, which included an intriguing two-storey building for the owners, a single-storey work nave with an unfinished central section intended for expansion, and two housing blocks for the workers.

Funeral complex that, originally, was laid out with a Greek cross plan centred on an octagonal square, with a central department, three districts and a dissident area. Due to various subsequent extensions, the latter is organised into four quadrants or departments (Sant Oleguer, Sant Nicolau, Santa Eulàlia and Sant Salvador). External areas have also been included (departments of Sant Oriol, Sant Otó, Sant Nicodemus, Gregal and Sant Joaquim).

Detached single-family house (currently divided into two houses), surrounded by a garden, with a tower at the back which has a square base and an octagonal upper body. It has a complex structure, with a Greek cross plan, made up of several bodies that have roofs on two sides. The material used in is exposed brick, which gave the house its name. The Red Tower was built in 1899 following the criteria of the eclectic architecture typical of that period, although it incorporated some medieval elements. The urbanisation of the Sant Ramon Street area (the old road from Cerdanyola to Sant Cugat), which became known as the "Dalt neighbourhood", had begun around 1828 with the construction of houses in some land owned by the Serraparera farm. Subsequently, new construction processes were carried out there, especially during the 1860s and 1880s. (Dating provided by source)

The name of Guixaró is associated with the country house known as Casa Gran del Guixaró. The toponym is known from a 17th-century document. The heiress of this house married Francesc Guixaró, and since 1627, the house became known as Casamitjana i Guixaró. In the 19th century, due to family disputes and inheritance issues, the Guixaró family sold the house and lands to Miquel Vilanova i Marsinyach, the heir of the country house of Sierra de Cabo de Costa in Puig-reig. In 1877, he commissioned an engineer to conduct a technical study for the construction of a sluice and a canal. In 1879, Esteve Comelles i Cluet, from Berga, purchased part of the country house lands to build a cotton spinning and weaving factory. The factory was built between 1888 and 1889, and the old wooden sluice, with a small diversion canal, was built in 1895. From the outset, the factory was equipped with a turbine to transform water power into mechanical energy to drive the machinery and a steam engine to provide supplementary power during drought periods and fluctuations in the river's flow. Mr. Comelles did not limit himself to building a factory. These were the days of industrial colonies, and alongside the Guixaró factory, housing for workers and a range of services and facilities were built so that workers could have everything they needed within the colony. Another building constructed as a "service" for the workers was the church. Historically, the Guixaró church was located next to the factory, as was the director’s house. Today, a small chapel remains in the old school building. Until about thirty years ago, since the origin of the colonies, religion and the priest played a crucial role in the social order and daily life. The priest coordinated social and festive activities, acted as the owner’s vigilant eye in the colony, and spread the message that the owner was like a father to the workers, a protective figure who provided them with jobs, food, housing and services. In 1902, Esteve Comelles, the colony’s founder, died, and the colony passed to his children. In 1917, the Comelles family sold it to Joan Prat Sellés from Manresa, who, along with his partners, sold it in 1929 to Marc Viladomiu i Santmartí, the owner of Viladomiu Nou. At this point, the colony experienced a resurgence: a road was built connecting Guixaró with Viladomiu Nou, worker housing was expanded with galleries for bathrooms and laundries, a new school was inaugurated in 1932 along with a football field, and by 1935, electricity and potable water were introduced. After the Civil War, new services and facilities continued to appear: a new sluice and canal in 1942, a nursery in 1946, a library in 1948, a theatre in 1949 and new apartments in 1953. The factory’s electrical system was consolidated, and the industrial space expanded between 1948 and 1950. These improvements helped the colony gradually overcome the hardships of the post-war years. By the 1970s, signs of crisis and the decline of the textile sector and the industrial colony model became more apparent. The colony began to lose population, and traditional services such as the school and shop closed. The factory ultimately shut down in the late 1980s. After the factory closed, the resident workers were given the option to purchase their homes. Today, around forty people live permanently in Guixaró, and the factory has once again resumed industrial activity.

És un edifici petit de planta quadrada amb quatre portals, un d'accés a l'interior i els altres per accedir a un balcó que envolta l'edifici. Els fonaments són de pedra, la resta és de totxo, utilitzant-lo com a decoració geomètrica. L'edifici es degué construir al mateix temps que una nau nova de la fàbrica de cal Sala amb la qual l'uneix l'estil decoratiu.

The Domènec Coll apartments are located on the block of the Eixample district, which is bounded by the streets Bruc, Diputació, Girona and Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. These are two residential buildings, one of them between partitions and the other forming a corner. The building located at the corner of Bruc and Diputació Streets has a particular structure. The ground floor and mezzanine follow the alignment of the chamfer, but on the ground floor it recedes, forming perpendicular façades to Bruc and Diputació Streets that converge in a tower that contains the stairwell. In this way, façades are obtained, open to the street, which contain galleries more typical of the façades that face the courtyards. The structure in height comprises a ground floor and five upper floors, all covered by a passable flat roof. The entrance portal of the building, the apex of the roof of the existing small building on the terrace of the chamfer and the tower of the stairwell form an axial axis from which the openings are distributed. The facing of the façades facing the street is covered by a stucco that imitates limestone, broken by the openings framed in stone, where those on the first floor and the central tower have pilasters crowned by a classicist pediment. This system contrasts with the light solution of the open galleries on the main façade, of which the use of coloured glass stands out. The main access leads to a lobby area and the central tower where the residents' staircase is located. These elements are decorated with fire-ironed stucco in different colours and geometric shapes, hydraulic mosaic... On the other hand, the building facing number 62 Bruc Street responds to the most common solutions for buildings between partitions in the Eixample. Rectangular in plan, it has a structure in height that includes a ground floor and five upper floors, with three axes of openings on the ground floor and four on the rest of the upper floors, all formed by an axial axis that is in the central entrance hall. The façade presents the same facing solutions as in the chamfer building, with smooth stucco imitating ashlar and openings framed by classic pediments on the lateral axes. The ground floor opens onto the street through three large vestibules where the main access is located in the central one which gives way to a lobby area and to a central rectangular clerestory in which the residents' staircase is located. The crowning of the building is identical to the other, with stone permodules supporting a cantilevered cornice, with the roof enclosed by a balustrade.

Building located in the oldest part of Sitges, next to the Casa de la Villa. It is a single-nave building with a gable roof. The brick façade has a symmetrical composition and the most notable element is the iron canopy at the entrance. Originally, the market was an isolated building; later, a new body was added to join it to other buildings. The Sitges market building was the first iron construction in the town. It was designed and directed by the municipal architect Gaietà Buigas i Monravà, and is the first Sitges building. The plans date from 1889. The auction of the works was awarded to Pere Ferran for 24,700 pesetas. The market was officially inaugurated on the 15th of August 1890. The original drawings of the cast-iron marquee at the entrance, also by Gaietà Buïgas, still survive from 1891. In 1935, expansion work was carried out.

Religious building. The school has a rectangular ground plan, with a horizontally elongated central body and two bodies at each end with a vertical layout. The one on the left corresponds to the porter's lodge and the one on the right to the chapel. On the left side there is an annexe that forms a kind of tower with battlements, which served as an observatory. The opening systems are different, they do not follow any pattern (rectangular, arched, etc.), and opposite this building there is another one used as a storehouse with similar construction characteristics. The materials used are very varied: stone, red brick, mosaic, stained glass and iron. Josep Puig i Cuyer, born in Breda, spent his summer holidays in Sant Julià de Vilatorta and, with the desire to carry out charitable work, had the orphan school built, which was inaugurated in 1894. Three years later, a meteorological observatory was installed, which was the first in the region. An interesting natural science museum was also created. These two tasks were carried out by Father Cazador. In 1958, a fire destroyed the museum and the library. In 1972, the internal structure of the school was partially modified.

Isolated industrial premises with a rectangular plan, consisting of a basement, ground floor and two floors. The façades are equal and flat with a symmetrical composition formed by a series of pillars with semicircular arches, the pillars have a double height value giving the whole a monumental character. It is the largest industrial building in Sant Feliu. It had been an important textile factory and for many years it has employed many people in the town. In 70s, and due to the serious economic crisis and in particular that of the textile sector, most of the machines had to stop, leaving many people unemployed. It is currently partially exploited, and textile products are produced there. The plans for this building have been attributed to Gaudí, but this has not been verified.

Civil building. Construction with a ground floor, main floor, attic and a rooftop with a square tower that remains in the central part of the façade. Its interest lies in the refurbishment that took place at the end of the 19th century. It is characterised by the great profusion of ornamental sculptural elements that crown the openings (curiously none of them are of the same shape or size): breakwaters with shields, fleurons, garlands, human figures; imposts and capitals with floral and animal elements; animal gargoyles at the corners of the tower. The main floor is accessed via a two-flight staircase with sculpted handrails. The façade is decorated with sgraffito. There is a garden at the front of the house, enclosed with an iron gate also decorated with floral elements. It is one of the most characteristic buildings of Passeig de Vilassar. There is no date of construction, but in the photographs we can see that it was already built in 1898.

All the industrial colonies in the upper Llobregat are similar: a tower, the church, the school and the workers' housing in three-storey blocks organised in parallel streets close to the factory. The factory was founded in 1870 and the Viladomiu Nou colony in 1874 by Tomàs Viladomiu i Bertran, who also owned the neighbouring industrial complex Viladomiu Vell. He had acquired the land of ‘Grau de Sant Marc’ and began work on a new factory and its annexed services, which, together with Viladomiu Vell, obtained the status of Agricultural and Industrial Colony in 1882. In 1907, the two companies were separated: the new production centre was given to Jacint Viladomiu and the old one to his heir, Josep Viladomiu. In 1929, the family bought the neighbouring Guixaró Colony and began a period of expansion that continued until the 1980s, when the textile crisis forced the company to close its doors.

The Clock House is one of the most characteristic buildings in Sitges, and it stands on the corner between Carrer Major and Carrer A. Vidal and opens onto the Plaça Cap de la Vila, to whose configuration it makes a decisive contribution. It is a large building between partitions, with a ground floor, three floors and a roof with a sinuous railing. It is accessed through three doors, two of them located on Carrer Major and Carrer A. Vidal, and the third and main door on the square. The distribution of the rest of the openings, which are generally rectangular, is rectangular. The most remarkable part of the building is the one on the corner with Carrer Major, which has a wooden tribune on the first floor and, above all, an overhanging tower, where the clock that gives the house its name is located and which ends in a spike covered with a mosaic of white, yellow and blue tiles. Overall, the decorative elements play a very important role in the external appearance of the building: ceramics, iron and sgraffito, although the latter are quite damaged. The Clock House, known as "Casa del Rellotge" is located at Cap de la Vila, where in the 17th century there was one of the six gates of the new wall of Sitges. This area was reformed according to the initial project by Gaietà Buïgas i Monravà, approved on 17-6-1889 and carried out with many modifications by Ignasi Mas i Morell in 1913. In December 1912, permission was requested for the construction of the building. The project was presented in May 1913 and was approved by the Town Council. The work was completed in 1915 – the date that appears sgraffitoed on the corner of Carrer d'Àngel Vidal.

The La Unión Metalúrgica old industrial complex was located in the Poblenou neighbourhood (Sant Martí district), in a block of houses designed by Ildefons Cerdà, bounded by Zamora, Almogàvers, Pamplona and Sancho de Ávila Streets. In 2004, it was largely demolished, and only the entrance pavilions, located on the chamfer of Almogàvers and Pamplona Streets, were preserved. This building, currently isolated, used to give way to the interior of the enclosure. It is a construction parallel to the chamfer, with a simple volumetric ensemble of two floors that rises an additional floor in the central part, all topped off by a passable flat roof. The façade of the building is characterised by the almost exclusive use of exposed brick, incorporating delicate ornamental elements of artificial stone based on medallions and plant motifs. The main façade, facing the chamfer, is divided into three vertical axes, and in the central one there is a higher floor. On the ground floor there are four rectangular windows located on the sides of the access portal to the interior of the factory. This, with a large, angled arch, has its parallel on the rear façade, and creates the axis of symmetry of the composition of openings, very weighted and organised. On the second floor there are three large split windows crowned by thin arches. On the upper floor there is the massive roof enclosure, and in the central part there is an opening topped by a semicircular arch and divided by three handrails. All these elements emphasise the outstanding element of this façade, located under the undulating crowning of this central part. It is a ceramic mosaic with the name of the company, in green letters on a white background. An old metal lantern that illuminates the entrance door is also preserved. This is the only element that remains of the La Unión Metalúrgica factory complex, promoted by Dionisio Bobín Sirot, which has its beginnings in 1889. In 1903 it becomes a limited company to dedicate itself to the purchase, sale and the casting of materials and objects of iron and other metals. Between 1899 and 1906 the company was reported because some of the constructions it carried out were illegal. When these problems had been solved, between 1908 and 1914, the new factory was remodeled with new buildings. It was at this time that the entrance hall was built, signed by the architect Josep Maria Plantada in July 1914. On December 31, 1936, on the Civil War, La Unión Metalúrgica was established as a collective worker destined for the war industry. Two office buildings, an aparthotel, green areas, and sheltered housing are currently being built on the land where the industrial facilities were located.

This mansion is made up of different sections where the old textile factory is also located. The structure of the house is reminiscent of a medieval castle due to the use of turrets, barbicans, battlements on the upper ends of the walls... It has a central body which is higher than the rest, with a large coat of arms and a niche with a sculpture above it. There is also a chimney in the shape of a human figure. It is built with exposed brick and stone. The house belonged to the Ventura family, owners of the adjoining factory "Los Toldos", where awnings and boat sails were made.

The Viladomiu Vell settlement is located about one kilometre south of Cal Bassacs. It is a colony built parallel to the river, from north to south, and at the entrance to the colony we find the church on one side (together with some annexe buildings) and on the other side, the owners' tower, while a little further up is the director's chalet. Thus, firstly, the most emblematic spaces of symbolic power, the church and the tower, then the central part destined for the workers' dwellings, and in the final part, the industrial zone, the factory. The dwellings are distributed in three rows of parallel blocks that make up the urban space, streets and squares; thus, in the upper street, the westernmost one, there are two blocks arranged in a row, one next to the other. Broadly speaking, these are buildings with an elongated rectangular ground plan, consisting of three storeys (ground floor and two upper floors) and a semi-basement floor accessible from the street below, as the ground is slightly uneven, and these are basically used as garages. The main façade that opens onto calle de Puig Sacalm is the characteristic gallery façade, made up of three rows or open gallery streets with openings of segmental arches supported on pillars. On this façade we find the entrances to the ground floors and the stairwells leading to the upper floors. Three of the lateral façades of these blocks remain without cladding, allowing us to see the stone walls with solid brick reinforcement in the corners and in the framing of the openings, in the case of the northernmost block, which also forms a decorative plasterwork. In this same block, we can see the openings of the southern lateral façade at ground floor level, with the openings framed in stone ashlars. The other blocks, one on the central street or row and two on the street below, also placed one next to the other, are also elongated rectangular in plan, with three storeys (ground floor and two storeys) and a gable roof of Arabic tile with an eave decorated with a geometric combination made of solid brick. The walls show the ground floor made of stone ashlars and the rest with the surface rendered and painted. The openings in the main and side façades are straight-cut and regularly distributed; the access portals to the interior staircases all open onto Puig Llançada street; the rear façades (in the westernmost block on the west and the easternmost blocks open onto the river to the east) have openings leading to balcony galleries, most of which have now been modified and closed off. The block of flats on the east side facing the church has an inverted L-shaped plan, with a volume facing the church that housed the schools and community spaces. Between the two we find the main square of the colony, the church square. Delimited between the three rows of blocks and at the southern end by the access to the factory, there is another square - Puig Sacalm street, the street above, which is like a promenade, with benches and plane trees. The Viladomiu Vell colony was founded by Tomàs Viladomiu Bertran, a member of a lineage linked to the spinning and weaving industry since ancient times. The origins of the family are documented from the beginning of the 16th century in Vilada, from where they moved to Berga. Over the years, there are numerous reports documenting the Viladomiu family's relationship with textile manufacturing, showing the evolution and growth of their business by adapting to the new demands and needs of each period. Tomàs Viladomiu's father moved to Sallent when he married Antònia Bertran, from the Cal Rei house, a town where he would continue to work in the wire and fabric business, and where the founder of the Viladomiu colonies was born, who would continue the family's business trajectory. Tomàs Viladomiu Bertran decided to set up a factory and colony up the Llobregat river, seeing the possibilities offered by the area, which was still scarcely industrialised. The chosen location was the land at Plana de Santa Marc, which he bought from the Feliu brothers. The history of the colony of Viladomiu began in 1868 with the application for the use of water to build a factory. Work began with the construction of the first building, the lock and canal, and the first buildings to house the workers. Subsequently, the colony would grow and incorporate elements, the church (1885), the wall, the tower (1910), the schools, extending the blocks of flats, enlarging the factory, etc. Once production had started (1871), the company ‘Viladomiu e Hijos’ bought and began the process of building a new colony on land further south of Viladomiu Vell. In this case, the land was bought from the same family, the plot where the new project was to be built was called the Llave de San Marcos, the names of the land would be used while both colonies were under the same company. From 1896, Tomàs Viladomiu's sons split the inheritance and each colony, Viladomiu Vell and Viladomiu Nou, were managed by different companies. In 1882 the company obtained the status of agricultural and industrial colony, which allowed it to benefit from certain tax exemptions. From the foundation of the Viladomiu Nou colony until 1989 it was managed by different companies linked to the Viladomiu family. The management of the colony and factory of Viladomiu Nou was done through different companies, as they changed over the years - 1869-1887: Viladomiu and Sons, 1888-1896: Viladomiu Sons, from this point onwards each Viladomiu colony undertook its own business path, 1896-1906: José Viladomiu Montañá, 1907-1927: José and Jacinto Viladomiu; 1928-1934: José Viladomiu Senmartí; 1934-1989: Manufacturas Viladomiu S. A. The Colonia Viladomiu Vell is included in the ‘Plan director urbanístico de las colonias industriales del Llobregat’; the municipality of Gironella is included in the Pla together with the municipalities of Avià, Balsareny, Berga, Casserres, Gaià, Navàs, Olvan and Puig-reig (DOGC no. 4940 published on 03/08/2007). At the southern end of the complex is the industrial area, the factory, with access through a large open doorway in the perimeter wall delimiting the factory space; in the access area there are some buildings built in the 20th century, including offices, the weighbridge, etc. The main feature of the production complex is the large central nave with an elongated rectangular floor plan, three levels of openings and a gable roof made of Arabic tile. Surrounding it are other halls and buildings, several of the structures attached to the central nave, with different volumes and finishes, being buildings of different functionalities and chronologies. On the north side of the complex there was the chimney of the steam engine, which no longer exists. Parallel to the river and the colony runs the canal that carries the water from the lock, located a few metres upstream, to the factory. The orchard area around the canal is also worth mentioning. A few metres from the owner's tower there is also the director's chalet – a four-storey house attached to the land on the west side, with a ground floor, first floor and ground floor-roof. On the first floor, there is a balcony-like gallery that continues on the roof and a ground floor level that develops on the roof itself, showing only lateral façades between the different roof planes. The roof is made of flat ceramic tiles with eaves supported by wooden beam heads.

Ca l'Herrando factory is an industrial building located at the foot of the road that goes from Sant Sadurní to link with the Igualada one in Vilafranca. After many refurbishments, its interest lies especially in the façades facing the road. The crowning of the naves with rounded and stepped shapes is interesting, as well as the use of exposed brick and stone fittings. The factory was built during the present century.
