Back in the days, this was the place where the brass baths were located. Today an audiovisual explanation  is projected here, prior to the visit to the factory. It is also a meeting place for conferences, presentations, courses and other events.

Given the fact that the flooring was very deteriorated by corrosion refurbishing works had to be carried out in this chamber such as new forged flooring.  The fragile condition mentioned above was hazardous, therefore it was decided then to pave it with rustic floor tiles, and with a "zócalo a cartabón” (a type of plinth made to measure) finished up with a wooden ornamental mould.

The old concrete sinks, where the brass pieces were dipped-in long time ago, were recovered and preserved. These have been turned into tables for display covered in old and recycled sturdy brick, on the side and by different types of wood on the top.  All the windows and ceilings were restored. At the end of the room, an arch made out of recycled sturdy brick was built. Nowadays, this arch is used as a support for the audio-visual projections.
