This route through Vilafranca permits to know the impact of such cultural movement in the end of the XIX century, through new symbologies of progress and modernity that this innovative technique called "art noveau" brought.

The economic resurgence of the Alt Penedès county, after the phylloxera disaster, propitiated the arrival of the artistic and social movement that was gradually implementing in Europe.

Agricultural owners and merchants become the receivers of the modernist trends and drive buildings according to their economic position.
