Discover Gaudí's Crypt, located inside the Colonia Güell, a textile village packed with surprises just 20 minutes outside Barcelona.
The Crypt is a church known for its twisted columns, the laboratory where Gaudí experimented his architectural solutions before building the Sagrada Família. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005.
The Colonia Güell also gives visitors the opportunity to explore its streets while admiring the most important Catalan art-nouveau, or modernista buildings in the life of the village, which are of great architectural interest.
Do not miss the Interpretation Centre inside the former workers’ cooperative. The centre has a permanent exhibition that provides the keys to understanding the village as a whole and the church in particular. It also has several models on how the church would have been had the works been finished.
