Magnificent garden area with banana trees and palm trees, and forest areas with pine and oak trees. Within the extensive property of Can Garí in Cros d'Argentona, a large garden was designed that completed the work of remodeling the estate that Josep Puig i Cadafalch carried out between 1898 and 1900. Nicolau M. Rubió i Tudurí was the first to intervene in the design through the combination of natural spaces with the distribution of tree areas, mainly pines, which responded to leaving a free nature next to other modeled ones. The garden was designed to walk through by means of paths, stepped terraces made of exposed brick, pergolas (some recall the work he was carrying out in the Montjuïc Park, in Barcelona), pointing out points of view that open up to broad perspectives. The presence of vegetation is combined with sculptures that give the gardens a more human dimension. Wooded spaces have been recreated, others with the presence of cacti and a large pond in the middle of which is the glass temple of Baccarat with the figure of Hermes in bronze, or the dots of wrought iron lanterns all resume the stately character of the place. This garden with the presence of sculptures and areas with citrus trees, so characteristic of the Mediterranean and Italian villas, enters fully into the Noucentisme style. The gardening work was continued by Lluís Bonet and Garí, with whom they shared the same ideology linked to the Noucentisme period.

The Cros, Garí castle or Garí Palace of Argentona adopts the characteristics of a large, fortified house with a quadrangular attached tower and circular turrets on the flanks, with loopholes, typical of both military architectural structures and rural isolated buildings, elements that allowed a better defense in uncertain times. The farm is surrounded by a walled enclosure. An upper gallery runs along the façades below the roof line, which is covered by glazed ceramic tiles, a detail that gives an idea of the importance that applied arts had at this time. The finishes of wrought iron on the roofs of the tower and the turrets also reflect this fact, in such a way that we the main elements of the industrial age – the applied arts and the historicist theme, which is evident in the revival of the medieval world with the construction of a building – are joined together with the characteristics of a late medieval castle. Access to the house is through a porch that has a gallery or loggia above it, which presents a style close to the flamboyant Gothic style. The house is centered by a courtyard with an open staircase to the first floor. In the interior, J. Puig i Cadafalch was in charge of designing all the furniture and ornamental elements: the staircase, the handrails, the eaves, the fireplace, the lights... and even the sculptural ornamentation of the columns where, among heraldic or floral motifs, one can discover caricatures such as those of Sagasta or Romero Robledo, important figures in the politics of the moment. In 1925, the architect Lluís Bonet Garí replaced the house of the tenant farmers, which was on the ground floor, and installed new bedrooms and a room there.

The gardening work was continued by Lluís Bonet i Garí, with whom they shared the same ideology linked to the Noucentisme period. In 1929, Lluís Bonet i Garí designed the construction of the Can Garí farmhouse, intended for agricultural work and housing. He did not want his project to be a contrast to the work done by Josep Puig i Cadafalch in Can Garí. The new building was designed to take on a certain stately character, both for the dimensions and for the careful treatment of the materials used. Therefore, you can find glazed tiles in the gable roof, a very careful work in the masonry that surrounds the openings or in the discharge arches, but at the same time it also took references from the architecture of the farmhouses. The whole set takes the volume of a farmhouse and introduces the arched gallery. You can also see the use of sgraffito in a figure of Saint Christopher that crowns one of the entrance doors intended for the machinery. There is padding in the corners, and the whole wall is plastered. A stand stands out in the corner that provides it with a character of distinction. Symmetry was not used in the composition, since each of the façades has a different treatment, as is the case with Can Garí by Josep Puig i Cadafalch. The Cros chapel was built in 1929 by the architect Lluís Bonet i Garí. If we take into account that at the end of the 19th century construction had not reached the degree of industrialisation of our time, we can appreciate the feat that Puig i Cadafalch represents in completing this work, the house of the financier Josep Garí at the Cros d'Argentona, after only nine months from the start of the works in 1899.

It is the result of the refurbishment of three old, attached houses, in which the entrance has been moved to the interior garden and some façades have been doubled in order to create galleries in the remaining spaces. The project breaks the typological features of the old houses and creates a unitary dwelling: a stepped volume from the south façade to the partition wall on the west side, with a doubled brick wall crowned with battlements. Numerous wooden elements are used on the façades, such as the corner struts. The interior recreates a fresh atmosphere, with wisteria and Arabic ornaments, an ideal refuge for the architect after his exile.

The building has a single nave with a rectangular plan. The apse is oriented to the N-E, with an apsidal vault cover and a lantern of wrought iron and glass based on paraboloids and hyperboloids. The material used is rustic stone with some elements of polychrome glass and glazed tiles. The two-sided roof is made of Arabic tiles. A small, attached bell tower is crowned by mosaic, establishing a certain link with the project of the estate of Josep Puig i Cadafalch. The access, located on the side, is preceded by a porch with three arcades, the rhythm of which recalls a Florentine loggia. This chapel, which is part of the property of Can Garí del Cros (house built by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch), was already mentioned in 1187, but it was ruined and only a stone cross with relief, a piece of cornice and a square foot of terracotta are preserved. In 1929, Lluís Bonet i Garí designed a new church. The documentation on the hermitage is mainly due to Carreras Candi, who explains its existence through the document of 1187. The oldest location is from 1323; there is another, from 1385, in favour of Joan de Caldes due to Bernat d'Agell's renunciation of the benefit of the altar of Sant Miquel del Cros. Around 1884, the Romanesque chapel was demolished and a new one was built, according to Domènech i Estapà's project, which was demolished in 1926, after which the current one was built. From very early on, Bonet Garí collaborated with Josep Puig i Cadafalch, the author of the remodeling and restoration of Can Garí. At the same time, the admiration he felt for Antoni Gaudí also led him to use some of the solutions in this hermitage. Currently, the small chapel does not have regular worship and the Garí family gave it to the bishopric, and it depends on the parish of Sant Julià. Once inside the property, a path from the Can Garí entrance leads directly to the hermitage and has a small fence that separates it from the garden area.
