Discover the industrial and architectural history of the 19th and early 20th centuries in a former textile factory and the industrial colony's unique church. The atmosphere of the 19th century is still preserved in the streets of Colonia Güell. The Gaudí crypt in the Colonia Güell is an insider tip from the architect's early work. It is an exceptional example of his architecture and blends perfectly into the surrounding forest with its organic structures. The Cripta Gaudí has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. The development of Colonia Güell began in 1890 on the initiative of the entrepreneur Eusebi Güell on his estate Can Soler de la Torre in the municipality of Santa Coloma de Cervelló, today the district of Baix Llobregat. As was customary at the time, Guëll built a company headquarters on the same plot of land with the workers' houses next to the factory.
