Approaching the different landmarks throughout the length and breadth of Catalonia, we will be led into one name: Josep Puig I Cadafalch (Mataró 1867 – Barcelona 1956); architect and art historian who developed an intense cultural and political activity in here. We’re dealing with such an important legate in our city and country, that it is difficult not to find references of his production - that furthermore have shaped our architectural landscape -. One of his most directly related influences was the American architect Louis Henry Sullivan, founder of the School of Chicago.

We shall dive into Barcelona’s diverse examples of this erudite such as: the Casa Ametller, Casa Macaya or the Casa Terrades, but also the old factory Casaramona or the Palace of the Baron Quadras. Leaving the city for his hometown, Mataró, we shall appreciate how he took care of the summer residences of his contemporaries, as Can Garí in Argentona or Casa Coll Regàs. In Empúries (alt Empordà) we’ll see how he promoted the archaeological funds to discover the first Greek and roman colony of the Iberian Peninsula. In the wine land, we’ll toast inside the Cava cellars that he designed for the company Codorníu. An enriching experience.
