Description

This tax collection book of the Canet de Mar Town Council, linked to the Ateneu de Canet, is a valuable testimony of local fiscal management at a time of economic and cultural growth. Canet de Mar, birthplace of figures such as Lluís Domènech and Montaner, was a pioneer nucleus of Catalan Modernism. The tax register reflects the economic activity and contributory capacity of a society in transformation, where culture and architecture become engines of change. It is a key source for understanding the relationship between taxation and cultural development in the European context.
