Popularly known as <b>sa F\u00e0brica<\/b> <b>de Ses Llistes<\/b>, this building is a reflection of that time of industrial expansion, when there were numerous wire and fabric factories in various parts of the island, as a result of the triumph of the modern cotton industry in the 20th century. Even during the Civil War, the only textile industry available to the rebel side was that of Mallorca.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-small-font-size\" style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5387\" src=\"https:\/\/visitmarratxi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SES-LLISTES-DEL-PONT-DINCA-2-1024x737.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitmarratxi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SES-LLISTES-DEL-PONT-DINCA-2-1024x737.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitmarratxi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SES-LLISTES-DEL-PONT-DINCA-2-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitmarratxi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SES-LLISTES-DEL-PONT-DINCA-2-768x553.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitmarratxi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SES-LLISTES-DEL-PONT-DINCA-2-600x432.jpg 600w, https:\/\/visitmarratxi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SES-LLISTES-DEL-PONT-DINCA-2.jpg 1376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Aerial view, 1950.

Finally, it was transferred again under the name of <b>&#8220;Textil Mallorquina&#8221;<\/b>. As it was an innovative building, it was commissioned to an architectural firm in Barcelona. It was a branch of the main factory in S\u00f3ller. Here they found the ideal conditions for their establishment, such as the transportation of the products by railway &#8211; formerly dedicated exclusively to freight wagons &#8211; or the use of the Gros torrent for waste disposal, as well as tax advantages.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Between 150 and 180 people worked<\/b> in this factory, mostly women, where the whole process was carried out: from the cotton wire to the weaving, dyeing and making of garments. For this reason, attached to this, the same company installed, around the early 1940s, a spinning factory that was in charge of transforming the fibre into yarn.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Up to 94 looms were in operation. The manufacture of this company functioned until 1972 due to a crisis caused by several factors: competition with Catalonia, lack of modernization, lack of adaptation to new raw materials such as synthetic fibres, etc. The last owner, Dami\u00e0 Mayol, gave the old buildings as long as the project was for educational purposes. It is for this reason that in 1980, the teaching cooperative <b>Es Liceu<\/b> was established. The rehabilitation project was entrusted to the architect Sebasti\u00e0 Cruelles, a project that won a prize for the recovery of buildings.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In terms of its style and typology, according to the Es Liceu school archives, this building was the <b>first factory<\/b> built in Mallorca with a typically industrial design, as these were previously built in traditional buildings. The building is characteristic of the factories of Catalonia and follows the English industrial model. The iron framework that supports the building stands out, which made it possible to have a building without central columns for greater optimization of space and the use of rivets instead of welding. It was also the first industrial building in Mallorca to use Portland cement.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This fact meant a complication for the master builders of the time, who did not know how to apply the technique or how to store the sacks of concrete, as it was a material that hardened very quickly when it was bathed in water. Its design also contemplated, in a pioneering manner, the construction of terraced housing for the factory workers who had a house with a garden, also following the Anglo-Saxon model. It is the only remaining example of this type of construction in Mallorca.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color has-small-font-size\" style=\"color: #2c2c2c;\">\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AM-JKLXKuTGLNmY0md9I-nM04mUQTGUDfZ8MZdVkoi1ZzwA51FLJ-ZtIicBU3lh2Cha_WoRWWs3-LevwRbK6WysfC-nWwz5aR_KLkmJPqdEEjsgENeOSbUsBQJ82wzjDvLKbV62oQ9YQov7HEJ5jLrviGtHLjA=w731-h969-no?authuser=0\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"485\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Workers&#8217; houses.
