Hello,we are Victor,Dina,Maria,Maikel and Souhail.

In this video we are going to explain to you about the Modernist


side of Mataró, ancient history of Matarò,some photos we took of
the places, etc.

On the map that you can see of Spain in this image, the city of
Mataró is located.

--
In Mataró, in 1910( nineteen hundred
ten) , there were 19,918 (nineteen thousand nine hundred eighteen)
inhabitants and currently there are 126,988 (one hundred
twenty-six thousand nine hundred eighty-eight) inhabitants.

The area of Mataro is 22,53 (twenty two point fifty three) square
kilometers.

Mataró was born around eighty before christ, when the Roman
city of Iluro was founded. It was built on a small elevation on
the coastal plain, where today we find the old town.
Iluro became one of the most important cities in Roman
Catalonia until the Roman Empire fell into decline in the 3rd
century AD and practically abandoned it.

It is not until eight hundred 1796 one that the existence of


Mataró, under the place name of Alarona, is documented
again. It was a small town that was later called Civitas Fractal
and was the seed of medieval Mataró.

Mataró was a small medieval town, which from the 10th


century onwards was structured around the Basilica of Santa
Maria. Formed by peasants, under the rule of the feudal lords
of the Castle of Mata, in 1424 (one thousand four hundred
twenty four) it became Carrer de Barcelona by decree of King
Alfonso the Magnanimous and broke with the yoke of
feudalism.
Despite not having a port, Mataró was launched. Boats full of
ñrgoods from all over the world unloaded on the beaches of
Mataró to evade the taxes and duties that had to be paid in the
city of Barcelona. Many Mataro residents saw an opportunity
in maritime trade and went to "make the Americas." Some
succeeded and returned home with great fortunes, which
served to drive the industrial revolution and finance
modernism

The most famous Indian from Mataró was Miquel Biada, who
brought the first railway line of the Iberian Peninsula to the
city. The earliest textile and knitwear factories took advantage
of this and Mataró became one of the most important
industrial cities in the country.

Details of Argentona’s street:


The doors of nooble wods decorated with sinuous forms of florals
that remember the Art Nouveaux,large knockers proportions
,sgraffito facades, together with the works of forging in bars of
design originals, are waiting for you.

La Beneficencia:
It is the work of Josep Puig i Cadafalch from 1894 and was
conceived as a charity house to accommodate orphans and poor
women. It was conceived as a charity house to take in orphans
and poor women. The glazed tiles show the coat of arms of Mataró
and the floral motifs help break the sobriety of the façade, which
displays a medieval style with exposed brick decoration.
Casa Parera:
diseñada por Josep Puig i Cadafalch en el año 1894 por encargo
de Miquel Parera i Pertegàs. Several buildings have beautiful
graffito on their facades, wrought iron windows,
eighteenth-century doors or modernist knockers.

Casa Sisternes:
The House Sisternes was commissioned in 1891 by the doctor from
Mataró Ernest de Sisternes i Bruguera to Josep Puig i Cadafalch,
who had just graduated that year

Some of the materials used in the house would characterize the


style of his later modernist works. The Sisternes House consists of
two floors with a facade decorated with wrought iron, exposed
brick and brightly colored tiles made in Valencia.9ii
