Many are the buildings, museums and monuments that stand out to the visitor of Sitges, who can find a special interest in the so-called "Americanos route" of artistic, architectonic and sentimental worth. Some Sitges villagers emigrated to Cuba in the late 18th century, who later returned to town having amassed vast fortunes which they invested in constructing mansions and other buildings. This alluring route shows the visitor the different construction epochs from romantic neoclassicism, and eclecticism, to modernisme and nouveau style.
