Pavelló de l'Espanya Industrial

The weightlifting competition of the
Games of the XXV Olympiad was held in
the Pavelló L'Espanya Industrial. This
newly-built hall stands in a park within the
city, in the district of Sants, on the site of
the old L'Espanya Industrial factory, one
of the driving forces of the Catalan textile
industry at the end of the nineteenth
century. The complex includes a multipurpose
sports hall, an indoor swimming
pool and a gymnasium. The building was
first used on 7 December 1991 for the
world weightlifting championships, as part
of Competitions'91. Financing and site
management were the responsibility of
COOB'92.
