The summer residence of renowned modernist architect, Lluis Domenech i Montaner (1849-1923) was situated in Canet de Mar. Montaner, himself, married a native of Canet and his family enjoyed many happy times at their Summer residence. Two of Montaner's sons also married girls from Canet. In his later years, Montaner retired to Canet where he worked on many of his research projects and wrote his books from the studio situated at the rear of the Montaner home. During his time in Canet, Montaner constructed a number of important buildings - most of which are still standing and in very good condition. Casa Montaner, the family home, consists of a purpose built home as well as renovations to the 16th century Masia Racosa which would become Montaner's studio. Today this complex houses a museum devoted to Montaner, the so-called "father of Modernism". Other significant works in the central part of town include: Ateneu de Canet and Casa Roura (now a restaurant).
