Santa Coloma del Cervelló - Colonia Güell
|
|
In 1898 Count Eusebi Güell, the great patron of Antoni Gaudí, had a social settlement laid out for the workers in his textile factory in Santa Coloma del Cervelló
Gaudí was commissioned to build a church for the settlement and his preliminary sketches reveal a startling similarity with the Sagrada Famiàlia. However the church in the workers' settlement was actually not built in the same style as the latter.
