Description

During the last third of the 19th century, the Diputació de Barcelona began planning and implementing the provincial road and road network. In this context, the figure of Melcior de Palau i Català, chief engineer of the corporation between 1878 and 1886, stood out. As an example of this activity, in 1879 the “Plan de carreteres de Barcelona” was drawn up.
