Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the architectural and historical heritage of Catalonia by way of two intertwined journeys; one by sea along the coast, the other through its mountain ranges. The author leads the reader along the coast from the Llobregat River to the French border, describing Catalonia's coastal towns and cities as they appeared in the 19th century. The second journey traverses Catalonia's mountain ranges, beginning with Montserrat and journeying to the Pyrenees, providing captivating descriptions of historic sites like San Cugat del Vallà s, Sant Miquel del Fai, and Sant Jeroni de la Murtra. Along the way the reader is introduced to the region's history, culture, and traditions, granting insight into the Catalan identity and spirit of place. The author does not shy from describing the decay and ruin into which some of the region's monuments had fallen by the 19th century; however, this only emphasizes the enduring artistic and historical significance of those that remain standing today. Ultimately, this book is an exploration of Catalonia's cultural and architectural heritage, set against the beautiful backdrop of the region's diverse landscapes.
