Mataró, Coastal municipality in Maresme, Spain
The capital of Maresme county stretches along the Mediterranean shore, with mountains rising behind the urban center at 28 meters elevation.
The settlement began as the Roman town of Iluro, and its remnants include a first-century BC Roman bath house called Torre Llauder.
The basilica of Santa María displays a Neo-Romanesque facade from the 19th century and contains Baroque altars with paintings by Antonio Viladomat.
The city connects to Barcelona through the coastal N-II highway, following the path of the ancient Roman Via Augusta road.
