In the first third of the 20th century, the city’s demographic, urbanistic and commercial progress became evident in various spheres of culture, with a growing importance of literary, artistic, musical, sporting and educational associations and the intellectual and creative contributions of Carles and Darius Rahola, Prudenci Bertrana, Miquel de Palol, Josep Tharrats, Xavier Montsalvatge and Rafael Masó. With the emergence of Modernism and later of Noucentisme, Girona became the second cultural nucleus of Catalonia.
