Mystery building in Pollença town

[mattc]

I saw this building on a recent visit and wonder if anyone knows what it was. It's next to the Torrent de Sant Jordi. An old chap in the town told me it was a factory, but my spanish isn't very good and the conversation ended there! Unknown building next to Torrent de Sant Jordi. ... | Architecture

Hi Matt i think it is the old carpet factory, have a look at this thread :- http://www.forum.puertopollensa.com/...d-closure.html and this one http://www.forum.puertopollensa.com/...s-news-10.html

thanks. Yes that's the one. tragic. It's a really interesting building (although out of character with the rest of the historic town centre). Maybe the local council would prefer it did fall down!

Hi Matt I think they have an order on it although I can't understand why they would want to protect it as in my opinion it is pretty yek!
