The Museu del Calçat i de la Indústria in Inca is dedicated to the history of shoe production and the leather industry — housed in a former military barracks complex.

Shoe history you can get to grips with

At the heart of the permanent collection are the techniques and machines used to manufacture shoes in Inca over many decades. Restored vintage machinery and tools bring the evolution of production to life — from almost entirely handcrafted methods through to industrial processes. Short films and explanatory texts accompany the exhibits, making the manufacturing process easy to follow. Alongside the permanent display, the museum also hosts a programme of changing temporary exhibitions.

Design and atmosphere

The exhibition is thoughtfully and lovingly curated, with carefully placed focal points that keep the tour feeling fresh and engaging. Families with children are well catered for, with a dedicated area featuring interactive activities. The staff are knowledgeable, welcoming and always happy to help.

Location: a historic barracks site

The museum occupies a pavilion within the former military barracks at Avinguda del General Luque 223 in Inca. From the entrance on the main road, you pass through a gateway into the old parade ground — the building itself sits at the far end of the courtyard. The site alone is well worth a look.

Admission and practicalities

Entry is free of charge; a voluntary donation at the exit is always appreciated. Free car parking is available on site. The museum is fully accessible — the entrance, car park and toilets are all wheelchair-friendly.
