Centro de las Artes de San Agustín

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:56:56

Pretty San Agustín's large, early-20th-century textile mill has been superbly restored as the Centro de las Artes de San Agustín, a spectacular arts center with two long, large halls. The lower hall is used as a gallery for often wonderful craft or art exhibitions; the upper one is a setting for concerts, conferences and other events. The center also hosts courses and workshops in a great variety of arts and crafts.

Pools surrounding the building are part of a gravity-powered water system that cools the roof and also supplies a paper-making workshop down the hill.
