Terrassa is a city in the east central region of Catalonia, in the province of Barcelona.
It is a city with an intense and varied cultural offer that covers all areas of artistic creation and dissemination, and takes place in adapted equipments to the current needs of cultural and sports consumption .
With more than 216.000 inhabitants, Terrassa has a rich cultural and artistic heritage dominated by the Sant Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac Natural Park. Terrassa originated as the Roman town of Egara (Municipium Flavium Egara), which was founded during the time of the emperor Vespasian (69–79 CE), alongside the torrent of Vallparadís (nowadays an urban park) close to the Iberian town of Egosa.
The Curches of Sant Pere- Seu- d’Ègara, next to Vallparadís Park, Palace Tower and the Castle- Carthusian Monastery of Vallparadís constitute its medieval heritage. A leap in time brings us to the age of Catalan Modernism and industrialisation: the Aymerich, Amat and Jover Mill, (now the mNACTEC), the Masia Freixa and the Alegre de Sagrera House.
The Jazz Festival, Modernism Fair, hockey, dance, music and theatre seasons, castellers (human towers) and golf complete a broad range of activities for enjoying a dynamic city that places the emphasis on services.
