Manresa, modernisme and Art Déco

The industrial middle classes in Manresa, basically linked to the textile industry, showed their consolidation as the new leading class in town by erecting Modernista buildings. This new style was used to create a group of buildings for either social, industrial or trading activities, as well as for private and religious use. From this local Modernista heritage it is worth highlighting the Casino, a work by the local architect Ignasi Oms i Ponsa, the Lluvià House, and the old warehouses at Can Jorba –a massive and decorated example of Art déco designed by Arnald Calvet.
