Argentona

Argentona is a municipality in the comarca of the Maresme in Catalonia, Spain. It is situated on the south-east side of the
granite Litoral range, to the north-west of Mataró. The town is both a tourist centre and a notable horticultural centre. A local
road links the municipality with Cabrera de Mar and with the main N-II road at Vilassar de Mar.

The town centre has buildings in a wide range of styles. The late gothic church of
Sant Julià was restored by Josep Puig i Cadafalch. The same architect designed
Argentona
Casa Gari, a private residence adjoining the chapel of Sant Miquel del Cros, a Municipality
work in the style of Antoni Gaudí by Lluís Bonet (1929). There are several
buildings from the 16th to the 17th centuries, as well as the Roman chapel of La
Mare de Déu del Viver and the benedictine priory of Sant Pere de Clarà. There is
an interesting museum dedicated to water jugs, the Argentona Water Jug
Museum, in which there are exhibited more than 700 pieces, including four
ceramic works by Pablo Picasso. The town festival (Festa Major) occurs every 4th
of August, to celebrate St Dominic.

The mayor of this town is Eudald Calvo Català.
