Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Barcelona (Region) Mataró is a prosperous industrial, commercial and tourist town on the Maresme coast, inheriting a long and rich historical heritage that dates back to the Roman Piazza Lluro, as evidenced by the archaeological site of the Llauder Tower, which contains ruins. However, many other significant events also left their mark in this town, such as the construction in 1848 of the first railway in the history of the Iberian Peninsula, which connected Barcelona to Mataró. The old city center is bounded by 16th-century walls. In the center we can see the 15th century Cathedral of Santa Maria, whose facade had its medieval and neo-Romanesque additions in the 19th century. Today, La Wrier and La Rambla are the city’s main commercial arteries. There we can see notable buildings such as the 17th century Town Hall, which includes architectural elements added later. At the intersection of these two streets, Plaza Santa Ana, we can visit the Baroque church of the same name. We can also visit other notable buildings such as the 18th century House of Caputxines and the Regional Museum of Maresme, housed in a Renaissance building. Modernism has left a special mark in Mataró, thanks to the legacy of architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, who was born in this city. He also owns one of the city’s symbols, the Colli Regàs House. #AprilDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Catalonia
