Around 1918, the Gandesa winegrowers got together to build a winery where they could make wine, thus the Gandesa Agricultural Cooperative Winery was born. They had to request a loan to be able to obtain financing for the construction of the winery, and they did so by mortgaging their land and private properties. Having reached this challenge, it was the Valls bank that took over the financing and at the same time proposed the Modernist architect Cesar Martinell (Valls, Alt Camp, December 24, 1888 - Barcelona, November 19, 1973).

Building

Modernist building in which the construction of the winery for the elaboration of wines was finished in January 1920, and its oil mill in November of the same year. These points have since then made it a unique building in the town of Gandesa.

Its architectural value has made it considered one of the Cathedrals of wine. It was cataloged as a Cultural Asset of National Interest of the Generalitat of Catalonia, and one of the Seven Wonders of Catalonia, chosen in 2007.
