Valls 1888, the 1st Agricultural Society of Catalonia is born
Do you know how the peasantry and bourgeoisie lived in Valls at the end of the 19th century?

While the peasantry and the labor movement set the pace for the new century: in Valls the 1st Agricultural Society of Catalonia was born. It follows the imprint of the architect Vives-Castellet, collaborator of the Commonwealth of Catalonia, in an era as creative as convulsive.
