Arlandis

The Arlandis factory was the last ceramic manufacturing building to be built in the area. The land on which it sits was previously occupied by several smaller plots located between the Paseo de Els Rajolars, the Senda de los Ladrones, the Riuet de los Frailes and the neighbouring plot of the old factory of Viuda de Morera.

Within this area we also find the remains of the old Hermanos Tercero factory, consisting of the furnace, the chimney and one of its warehouses, which may have been used for the reception of raw materials. For a time these two factories coexisted, as can be seen in the orthophoto of 1977 in which we see how they were completely adjoining.

Given their intimate spatial relationship, they have been considered as a single unit for the development of the Master Plan, although appraised separately in terms of their heritage value. It should also be noted that, unlike the La *alvaora and San Blas complexes, both factories retain a separate entry in the land register.

Within the Arlandis part, we can identify all the functional pieces of a brick factory: perpendicular to Paseo de Els Rajolars we find two elongated warehouses, one of them for receiving raw materials and housing the machinery area, while the other houses what appears to be a small dryer and a large longitudinal furnace of more modern construction.

Facing these two warehouses, we find the continuous furnace warehouse, similar to the rest of the factories in the area, with the same enclosed chambers but without a chimney. Attached to the furnace warehouse we find another nave with more light than the others, totally open in part, which could have been used as a dryer or to store the finished product.

All the constructions of this complex are preserved reasonably well, with the exception of one of the warehouses perpendicular to Paseo de Els Rajolars, the centre of which has collapsed. Fortunately, this collapse does not prevent the identification of any functional element of the whole.
