Most people will be familiar with Modernisme in Catalan art, or as a wider artistic movement in the late 19th century in Europe, but who has ever heard of Noucentisme? This was a fascinating discovery when preparing for a visit to Girona to look at Modernista architecture, and which led us to visit the Casa Masó, the home of the Catalan architect Rafael Masó i Valentí. The guided visit is essentially about the house and the family, not to show you or explain Masó's work, although the introductory video will give you some idea. The house is in reality very small, despite being a merger over time of four separate dwellings, so there does not appear to be any space for displays of designs or photographs of architecture. For that you can follow the 'Masó Route' on foot in Girona, probably best with a guide, or visit places such as Sant Feliu de Guixols or S'Agaro on the coast. In whatever case, if you do have any real interest in the history of architecture and design in the early 20th century, do take the time to research Noucentisme - essentially a return to classical values after what was possibly seen as the excesses of modernity, as the movement does explain some aspects of present day Catalan identity still visible today.
