The Evangelical Church El Pont d'Amposta has acquired the Metro nightclub to convert it into a center for worship and social activities. This project involves an investment of 600,000 euros and aims to revitalize an abandoned space in the les Tosses industrial park.

With an area of 3,200 square meters, the new headquarters will feature an auditorium for 600 people and spaces dedicated to support programs for people with drug addiction and school reinforcement for children at risk of social exclusion.

The acquisition and renovation of the Metro nightclub

When and how did the purchase of the space take place?

The former Metro nightclub, closed since 2014, has recently been acquired by the Evangelical Church El Pont. The purchase was finalized this year, and this weekend the debris removal work has already begun to start the renovation.

What investment is planned and what does it include?

The initial investment of 600,000 euros covers both the purchase and the rehabilitation works. The renovations will allow the space to be adapted for religious and social use, with a large auditorium and rooms for community activities.

The social project that the Evangelical Church wants to promote

What social activities will be developed there?

The center plans to develop a program aimed at people with drug addiction problems and school support activities for children from vulnerable families. This seeks to respond to local social needs and bring life to an industrial park with many empty spaces.

Why is this project key for Amposta?

Pastor Carlos Zaragoza highlights that this project will help to energize the les Tosses industrial park, where the presence of community and cultural activities is minimal. The initiative could mark a visible change in the social and economic life of the neighborhood.

Details of the new center and its exact location

What are the characteristics of the acquired space?

The premises cover 3,200 square meters and include an auditorium with a capacity for 600 people. Different rooms will be set up for social activities and church-specific programming.

Where is the Metro nightclub located exactly in Amposta?

The nightclub is located in the les Tosses industrial park, an industrial area with many abandoned warehouses. This location enhances the positive impact the project can have on the urban and social revitalization of the neighborhood.
