Santa Coloma de Cervelló route
Gaudí and the Colònia Güell

Situated in an industrial colony of Modernista origin that captivates visitors with the charm of its streets and the peace of its surroundings, is one of Gaudí’s most beautiful and most genuine works: the Church, also known as the Crypt, of the Colònia Güell.

Although it has remained unfinished, this church represents a culminating point in the work of Gaudí. In this building he included, for the first time in a unitary way, practically all of his architectural advances, just as he would do later at the Sagrada Família.
In reality, however, the Colònia Güell must be understood as an ensemble formed by three parts, each with its own strong personality: the Industrial Precinct, the Church and its surroundings, and the dwellings with their respective community facilities. For this reason, we invite you to enjoy a pleasant tour of the industrial colony’s most significant buildings.
