An artistic and documentary project has allowed the visual memory of Terrassa to be recovered, focusing on buildings and landscapes that no longer exist, thanks to a collection of prints and watercolors.

The initiative, which began approximately five months ago, arose from a local teacher's proposal to comment on his works depicting architectural and landscape elements of the city that have disappeared over time. This collaboration has become an enriching experience, combining art with historical research.
Through ten drawings and watercolors, an exhaustive documentation effort has been carried out, delving into the history and heritage of Terrassa. The process has involved intense research and significant discoveries about the locality's past.
The project has received fundamental support from expert history and architecture professors, whose contributions have been crucial for its realization. Their involvement has allowed the artistic aspect to be complemented with a rigorous historical and architectural approach.
Furthermore, the Diari de Terrassa and the Terrassa City Council have played a key role in the visibility and support of this initiative. Their trust has been decisive in publicizing the work done and in preserving the memory of the spaces and buildings that are no longer part of the current urban landscape.
