Rusiñol and the birth of the Cau Ferrat

Historical milestone · Sitges, Garraf, Barcelona

In 1891 Santiago Rusiñol bought two fishermen's houses facing the sea and turned them into a workshop and museum of ironwork, glass and painting. The Cau Ferrat attracted artists and gave rise to the festivals that made Sitges a Modernista capital.
