Symbol of work and struggle for many residents of the area due to its close relationship with industry, the Plaza de la Sedeta occupies a large plot of the neighborhood known as the Camp d'en Grassot and Gràcia Nova that had been factory land. The old Pujol i Casacuberta factory, popularly known as La Sedeta, is today a civic center that captures the spirit of the neighborhood. Industry and neighborhood struggle As a clear symbol of the community and neighborhood spirit that has always been characteristic of the neighborhood of Gràcia, Plaça de la Sedeta contains the eponymous civic center that since 1984 organizes much of the cultural life of the area, with workshops, courses, concerts, and so on. Historically, the 7,000-square-meter brick industrial building that now occupies the civic center had been a textile factory that was officially called Pujol i Casacuberta, although everyone called it La Sedeta, a name that was later transferred to the square that it surrounded him. An emblematic civic center Marked by a fighting spirit, the square cannot be dissociated from this factory, which during the 1951 tram strike was the first to stop production. In 1978, the square also witnessed an intense neighborhood campaign to save the factory building, which was to be demolished to build flats and which the City Council finally acquired to be used for public use. . Full of residents and young people who take part in the activities of the civic center, it is worth approaching the middle of the Camp d’en Grassot to get to know one of the squares with the longest history in Barcelona.
