Gaudi Crypt

 “A monumental model of the Sagrada Família”.

The Gaudí Crypt of Colonia Güell is one of the best kept secrets of the architect. It is an atypical example of architecture built with materials of colors and textures similar to the soil and vegetation. In fact, it integrates perfectly with the grove that surrounds it. 

The church of Colonia Güell also includes numerous examples of the Gaudi's mastery of the applied arts, both in terms of the furniture elements - such as the ergonomic benches - and the purely ornamental ones - stained glass.

The Crypt was declared UNESCO World Heritage in July 2005.

Colonia Güell Exhibition

Located in the building of the former Colonia cooperative, the permanent exhibition offers a global vision of the Colony, its people and the work of Antoni Gaudí.

The Colonia Güell exhibition has five areas to visit: the industrial colonies, the factory, people, the Güell Colony y Gaudi's Church.

The ground floor is dedicated to the history of the Industrial Colonies of Catalonia and especially to that of Colonia Güell. An audiovisual allows us to understand the daily life of Colonia Güell through the eyes and experiences of a girl.

On the upper floor, the reproduction of the stereostatic model designed by Gaudí to visualize the structure of the church in three dimensions stands out. This technique, invented by Gaudí to build the crypt, and the discoveries that it entailed, was later used in the construction of the Sagrada Familia.
