Torribera enclosure

The Recinte de Torribera is a 34-hectare property of the Diputació de Barcelona, located to the north of the city of Santa Coloma de Gramenet and in the foothills of the Serralada de Marina. Regarding the name of Torribera, it was named Torre Ribera, as a result of the name of the owner, Joan Ribera (1566). From 1617, it was owned by the monastery of Sant Jeroni de la Murtra and during the confiscation, in 1822, it passed into private hands. The land was acquired in 1916 by the Commonwealth of Catalonia, presided over by Prat de la Riba, to locate a set of buildings for mental illness. The architectural project of 1917 by the architects Rafael Masó and Josep Maria Pericàs is part of the conceptual values of Catalan Noucentisme.
