Colonia Güell

The Gaudí Crypt, within Colonia Güell, is the architect's most hidden treasure. A creation for which his patron, Eusebi Güell, gave him freedom of budget, and which became the testing laboratory for the construction of the Sagrada Familia. It is the purest work of the artist, where he explores all of his abilities and perfects his techniques. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005 and in 2013 it became the first monument with this recognition to obtain Biosphere Certification for the sustainable management of its services. Located within the Colonia Güell, an atypical industrial colony for its time where Gaudí and his friend Count Güell put into practice the main technical advances of the time and also the most innovative social reforms.
