Description

The general plans of Passeig del Marquès de Casa Riera, also known as Passeig dels Anglesos, show an emblematic maritime area of ​​the Maresme. This area, known as the “Catalan Blue Coast”, became a diplomatic refuge during the Civil War, hosting embassies and consulates. The document, preserved in the Maresme Regional Archive, reflects the strategic and symbolic importance of the Catalan coast. It is a sample of how urban planning and architecture can become scenarios of political and social history, and how the Catalan territory has been a space of reception and international projection in the turbulent Europe of the 20th century.
