[squat](List_of_Squats "wikilink") and [social
|
|
center](Social_Center "wikilink") in
|
|
[Barcelona](Squatting_in_Barcelona,_Spain "wikilink"),
|
|

|
|
## History
|
|
|
|
The building was constructed in 1879 to house resources necessary for
|
|
the railroads around Barcelona. During the [Spanish
|
|
Revolution](First_Spanish_Revolution "wikilink"), it was collectivized
|
|
by the [CNT](National_Confederation_of_Labour_\(Spain\) "wikilink"). It
|
|
soon became the site of several union offices (including the CNT) until
|
|
several arson attacks left the building abandoned in the 1990s.
|
|
|
|
In 1997, young squatters occupied the building and turned it into a
|
|
social center. Used for democratic assemblies, newspapers, parties,
|
|
movie nights, debates, musicals, theater, book presentations and
|
|
communal meals. It was the site of an [squatters
|
|
uprising](Can_Vies_Uprising "wikilink") in 2014, as the police attempted
|
|
to evict the squat.\[1\]
