This unique and spectacular masia has been rebuilt in phases, the last major construction dating from 1906. It is the work of the famous modernist architect Josep Azemar, who succeeded in harmoniously incorporating the particular elegance of the modernist style with the traditional architectural preservation of the region. The Cortal Avinyó reflects, in all its splendor, the passage of centuries of history that have consolidated the great heritage value attributed to it today. Its architectural evolution is evident in the successive phases of construction.
