Sant Feliu de Llobregat, called at the time of the Second Republic, Rosas del Llobregat, is only about 10 km from Barcelona. Therefore, its proximity to the capital has always played an important role regarding to population flows, exchanges, interaction and, in turn, with the villages around.

The presence of textile industries (Can Bertrand 1861, Solà i Sert and Can Güell, both from 1894), favoured a gradual shift from the agricultural to the emerging industrial sector. Associations will soon spring up with the consequently creation of institutions such as the Casino (1879), the Ateneu (1881) and the Unió Coral (1892).

Architectural influences of both Art Nouveau and the Vienna Secession along with the Glasgow School at the beginning of the twentieth century, can be seen through Sant Feliu’s heritage. The wide range of new solutions for housing, due to the wide social diversity to which it was addressed, the careful application of colorful ceramics following different techniques in facades and woodwork, wall decor such as engravings and other decorative elements are well-worth the visit. Altogether inserted in the urban Pla Eixample, which has survived until today.
