What you can expect

The guided visit begins with you meeting your guide directly at the Old Major Seminary of Comillas, an imposing work by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, on which Joan Martorell also collaborated. From the very start, visitors are immersed in a unique setting that is considered one of the great examples of Catalan modernism outside Catalonia.

Throughout the tour, visitors will explore the building's main spaces, including the majestic entrance, the priests' chapel, the central courtyard, and the old church, all of which stand out for their rich ornamentation, symbolism, and meticulous architecture. The guide will reveal the artistic and architectural details that make this building a true historical gem.

In addition, during the tour, there will be a brief introduction to Antonio López y López, the driving force behind this ambitious project, whose personal history and legacy are closely linked to the town's cultural and architectural development.

This tour is designed to help visitors appreciate not only the beauty of the building, but also its historical context and its significance within Modernism.
