Along this nearby coastline north of Barcelona, and
particularly in villages such as Canet de mar, Mataró
and Argentona, we can find some of the most remarkable
Modernista buildings created by several talented architects,
especially by two of the leading figures of Catalan
Art Nouveau: Lluís Domènech i Montaner
and Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
The old farmhouses that have been turned into real castles
and palaces, and the mansions where those creators lived,
one of them (in Canet de Mar) coverted into a museum,
help us to understand the scope of the talent and imagination
of this artistic movement on the borderline between
the 19th and 20th centuries.
