Main tourist attractions

Gaudí crypt in Colonia Güell

Discover the Colonia Güell and the Gaudí Crypt, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and one of Gaudí's most important works, located within a textile colony full of surprises just 20 minutes from Barcelona. La Cripta has recently won the award for sustainable cultural tourism destinations in Europe 2018.

The Crypt is the church of the crooked columns, the laboratory of the Sagrada Família and a work where the brilliant Catalan modernist architect Antoni Gaudí experimented with many architectural solutions.

At the same time as contemplating the work of Gaudí, the Colonia Güell offers the visitor the possibility of walking the streets contemplating the most significant modernist constructions of the life of the colony and of great architectural interest. In addition, you can visit the Interpretation Center, located in the building of the old consumer cooperative, which has a permanent exhibition to understand the neighborhood as a whole and the church in particular.

Gava Archaeological Park

How did they live, how were our ancestors from 6,000 years ago? Live the experience in an innovative archaeological expedition in this unique site in Europe. A trip to prehistory, to understand the past and the present.

Considered one of the most important and unique heritage sites in our country, exploitation began about 6,000 years ago, in the Neolithic period, and lasted for a millennium. These are the oldest gallery mines in Europe and the only ones dedicated to the extraction of variscite, a mineral used to make ornaments that were exchanged in complex networks that spanned the western Mediterranean. Unique remains have also been recovered, such as the trepanned skull and the Venus of Gavà.

The Archaeological Park, created with the aim of preserving and disseminating this exceptional mining site, offers a unique experience in which the mining structures coexist with a modern museographic presentation, where the visitor can capture the magnitude of the site and learn, at the same time, the way of life and the beliefs of our ancestors through advanced audiovisual and multimedia elements. Many of the original pieces can be visited at the Gavà Museum.
