Burés Cultural Centre is located in unit 3 of the old Burés factory. It is made up of the 1st October Room, the Ballroom and the Burés Educational Centre.

The 1st October Room hosts concerts, performing arts shows, audiovisual screenings, cultural events and more.

The Ballroom is mainly used for leisure activities and celebrations for older people. On 1 May, the now-traditional lunch to pay tribute to the town’s older people takes place.

The Burés Interpretation Centre is in the process of being created thanks to the co-financing of the FEDER 2014-2020 Operational Program (50%), charged to the budget of the Generalitat de Catalunya, and the Diputació de Girona (25%).

Burés Educational Centre

Address:
Contact:

This facility is currently being created, thanks to co-funding from the ERDF 2014–2020 Operational Programme (50%), included in the Government of Catalonia budget, and from Girona Provincial Council (25%).

The project consists of a museum and educational centre on the history of the Anglès Valley. It will also act as a visitor centre and a hub for promoting tourism in the area.

The goal of the centre is to help visitors to discover a historical legacy spanning over 2,700 years, and all in one heritage space that looks at European history – from the Neolithic period to the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – from the perspective of uses of natural resources: metals, wood and water.
