In the late 19th century and at the turn of the 20th century, Anglès enjoyed a period of prosperous economic activity, mostly thanks to the great Burés textile company, which turned a small rural town into a thriving industrial one. One of the results of this period of prosperity was the construction of a small but remarkable group of heritage buildings.

• • Can Cendra (C/ d’Avall, 31 and C/ Girona, 7 – 9). Noucentista building designed by Rafael Masó, now home to Anglès Town Hall. The roof eaves and some other details reveal Central-European influences. Also noteworthy are its gardens, located to the rear of the house and now a public park.

• • Can Peix (c/ del Castell, 6). This modernist house was also designed by Rafael Masó. It is characterised by the visual interplay of the different roof levels and the use of curved lines.
