It is part of a 3-km Gothic aqueduct, most likely built in the 14th century to carry water from the "mine of the Monks" to the monastery of Sant Cugat and the lower part of the town. The bridge over the torrent of Can Cornellera is formed by three semicircular arches and carried the water in a channel covered with slabs to a cistern in the abbey palace. With the confiscation of the monastery in 1835 it became municipal property. The water from the mine provided an essential service to the population until 1922.
This is all that remains of the cooperative wine press, begun in 1921 to the design of Cesar Martinell, an architect who specialised in agricultural building at that time, inspired both by Gaudi's art nouveau design and the rationalism of the beginning of the 20th century. The wine industry declined after the 1950s and the last pressing was completed in 1988. The surrounding buildings were demolished, including, in 1994, the hall for vats, to allow for the expansion of urban building. In the remaining hall, exhibitions are shown and can be visited on certain days, particularly weekends
