Audio tour Summary
Technological transformation is often talked about, but to understand the current changes, we have to go back in time and learn about the Industrial Revolution. This transition marked the end of the predominantly agricultural society that had lasted for centuries. The bases of society were profoundly altered, and the conception was established that work was synonymous with remuneration, thus excluding many of the occupations carried out by women, among others.
This itinerary will take us to learn about the industrial heritage of the city with a broad look at art, social classes, leisure, the protagonists and many other issues.
