The fourth session presents two creators born in 1858, who jointly created outstanding constructions such as the Barcelona Palace of Justice. They are Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia (1858-1931) and Josep Doménech y Estapá (1858-1917), two of the most peculiar and productive creators of the time, although underestimated by the historiography of architecture.
