Municipal Silo

The Villanueva de los Infantes Municipal Silo is one of the most interesting examples of industrial heritage of the town.

In contrast to churches, convents, or palaces, this building brings us closer to a more recent part of the municipality's history, linked to grain storage and the agricultural organization of the territory.

Its interest lies precisely in that capacity to show another dimension of local heritage, linked to work, the agricultural economy and the infrastructures that shaped daily life in the 20th century.

It is a building associated with grain storage, within a functional typology that is very recognizable in many towns in inland Spain.

In Villanueva de los Infantes, the silo also stands out for its incorporation into the Titans project, an initiative that has helped to redefine this type of building and draw attention to its cultural value at a time when many of them had entered into processes of deterioration or abandonment.

This new interpretation allows us to view it not only as an old agricultural infrastructure, but also as a unique element of the contemporary urban landscape.

A visit to the Municipal Silo is especially recommended to complete a broader view of the heritage of Villanueva de los Infantes.

Alongside the monumental nature of its historic center, this building introduces a different perspective, focused on the memory of work and the transformation of uses of industrial architecture.

Therefore, it is a very interesting stop for those who wish to discover a more diverse and complete image of the town.
