The LX Factory is located halfway between Bel\u00e9m and the city centre, below Ponte 25 de Abril (Bridge of the 25th April). Ideal for a short pit stop on the way back from Bel\u00e9m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
In 1849, the textile factory Companhia de Fia\u00e7\u00e3o e Tecidos Lisbonense opened its gates here. With 23,000 m2 of production space, it was a major employer in Lisbon. Due to economic difficulties, the factory had to close down. A print shop used part of the premises, but it, too, had to close down. The site deteriorated more and more until an investor finally bought it in 2007. His goal is to transform the area into an island of creativity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
