buildings which contributed most to the fame of this architect (1888-1973),
born in Valls, are connected with agriculture. He built a about fifty
agricultural co-operatives, factories and cellars, like those in El Pinell
de Brai, Gandesa, and Falset, or the co-operative in Cornudella de Montsant.
Martinell was also outstanding as a writer of the history of Catalan

architecture. After the civil war, he restored numberless churches affected
by the conflict (in Seu d’Urgell, Lleida, altarpieces in Arenys de Mar and
Reus). |
