[Montjuïc Castle](https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/castelldemontjuic/en/visit/planning-your-visit?ref=barna.news) in Barcelona opened a new exhibition on Friday, 5 June, called "SEAT: Factory of Transformations". It looks at the car maker’s social and industrial impact on the city.

The [Barcelona City Council](https://www.barcelona.cat/en/?ref=barna.news) launched the exhibition. Crític journalists Laia Soldevila and Jordi de Miguel curated it. The show traces SEAT’s influence on Barcelona, including the industrial changes linked to the Zona Franca.

The exhibition gives residents a clearer view of Barcelona’s industrial past. It focuses on how SEAT helped shape jobs, urban development and daily life in and around the city, especially in the Zona Franca, a major industrial and logistics area.

SEAT’s history is closely tied to Barcelona’s post-war industrialisation. Its operations in the Zona Franca brought employment and changed the economic landscape for many families and communities. The exhibition sets out that history in a way that connects the company’s growth with the city’s wider social change.

It also looks at how the Zona Franca developed over time, from an industrial zone into a modern logistics and business park. For readers following Barcelona’s industrial heritage, the display adds another layer to the story of how the city has changed.
