Mataro

The archaeological site of the Roman villa of Torre Llauder preserves mosaics and remains that recall the area’s ancient past. Mataró also has a strong industrial identity: the Barcelona–Mataró railway, opened in 1848, was the first railway on the Iberian Peninsula. Nau Gaudí, a former textile factory designed by Antoni Gaudí, reflects the city’s connection with the textile trade.
