The rich and interesting history of this town is reflected in its eclectic architecture. The main seafront strip of Vilassar, between the train station and the town hall square, showcases some of the finest turn-of-the-century homes in Maresme. These properties were custom-designed homes to those that set off to the Americas in the late nineteenth century in search of their fortune and returned with a love of colonial architecture, which they artfully combined with the Catalan Modernista fashion of the time. The result is some truly spectacular houses with a unique personality and a great range of original period design features.
