# Vapor Turull Factory: Industrial Pioneer in Sabadell

The Vapor Turull factory, built in 1849, introduced steam-powered machinery and a leasing model for industrial power. It transformed Sabadell into a key textile hub, supporting 700 people with schools, markets, and a theater. The facility, designed by Rafael Estany, remains a symbol of the Industrial Revolution in Catalonia.
