Gomis Colony
autoria desconeguda
The colony consisted of a factory, a row of houses and the Neo-Romanesque Church of the Virgin of the Rosary. The Can Gomis textile industrial colony was founded in 1891 by Francesc Gomis i Soler from Manresa. Dedicated from its beginnings to the production of cotton yarn and fabrics, in 1909 a power plant was installed here, supplying electricity to Monistrol de Montserrat, Olesa de Montserrat, the mountain and the Monastery of Montserrat, as well as other towns. The plant became part of the Segre group of hydroelectric forces created by the same company. The Neo-Romanesque church of the Gomis Colony, dedicated to the Virgin of the Rosary, was designed by architect Alexandre Soler i March. In the summer of 1985, the Gomis Colony factory was closed, at that time employing 72 workers, 80% of whom came from the town of Monistrol de Montserrat. Years later, the factory reopened and remains in operation today.second half of the 19th century

Stations of the Cross of Montserrat
A group of isolated sculptural groups which, from the purest Neoclassical style to the latest trends in abstract sculpture, represent each of the themes of the Stations of the Cross at the fourteen stations. The original pieces were destroyed during the early years of the Spanish Civil War and were later replaced by the current ones, works by Margarita de Sant Jordi, Francisco Juventeny and the more modern and stylised ones by Domènec Fita. At the end of the ‘Via Crucis’ route (a twenty-minute walk) there is the chapel of the Virgin of Solitude. Between 1904 and 1919, the fourteen Stations of the Cross of the Monastery were designed and sculpted. These first sculptures were destroyed in the early stages of the Spanish Civil War and were later rebuilt. At the end of the ‘Via Crucis’ we find the Chapel of the Virgin of Solitude.1915 - 1916

Escoles Noves
The building has an almost rectangular floor plan, with two wings surrounding a central section that protrudes from the façade. The staircase, which serves as a distribution point, is located in this central section. The wings have a ground floor and first floor, while the central section has an additional floor. The walls are masonry, plastered and painted, and the roof is tiled. Surrounding the building there is an area with gardens and sports facilities for students. The project dates back to 1935 and construction began in 1936. In 1939, during a bombing raid, the building was partially destroyed, but after the war, work resumed and reached its completion in 1940. -
Mare de Déu del Roser de la Colònia Gomis Church
Neo-Romanesque style church of the 20th century following the Romanesque forms of the 11th century and synthesising great contributions of the Catalan Romanesque style from different places in order to achieve a prototype of a Romanesque church. The style used within the historicist forms is the First Romanesque or Lombard Romanesque: it has blind arches, Lombard bands, semi-circular arches, barrel vaults, a bell tower with floors which is separate from the church and regular stones placed at the junction. The dome that crowns the transept forms a Latin cross plan that tends to the Greek cross. It has three apses in degradation and the central one has three apsidioles. The Neo-Romanesque church of La Mare de Déu del Roser in Colònia Gomis was inaugurated in 1930 and is the work of the architect Alexandre Soler i March. It was the last work of the colony, which was made up of the factory, the housing for the workers and the church with additional religious buildings. La colony had been founded in 1891 by the industrialist Francesc Gomis i Soler and until recent years has been dedicated to cotton yarns and fabrics. -

La Font Gran
autoria desconeguda
The fountain is located in a large square called Font Gran, slightly below the level of the square floor, and is accessed via a set of steps. It consists of a high wall topped with a semicircular pediment; a cornice runs along the top, the keystone bears the date 1997, and the ends are topped with a stone ball. Inside the pediment is the town's coat of arms. At the bottom of the wall are the basin and the spouts from which the water flows. La Font Gran is named after the spring that supplies water to the entire village. Until the 16th century, it was called Font de la Resclosella, but it is also known as Font Major or La Canaleta. In 1923, Barcelona architect Joan Bruguera i Roget drew up a very ambitious project to renovate the square, but it was never carried out. In 1926, work began on channelling the water from the fountain and burying the section of the stream corresponding to the Plaça de la Font Gran. The aim of the work was to collect and channel the water for subsequent distribution throughout the town of Monistrol. It was during this work that the fountain's cistern was remodelled, as was the upper part of the façade to make it more dignified. On 25 March 1928, the inauguration ceremony for the town's water supply was held. Between 1972 and 1974, the square was remodelled and developed, taking on its current appearance. This work involved completely covering the Les Guilleumes stream and reorganising the square. -

Montserrat Choir School
Espinet/Ubach, Arquitectes i Associats, Miquel Espinet i Mestre, Antoni Ubach i Nuet
Out of the group of buildings that make up Montserrat Abbey, the three located in the northernmost part were subject to different transformations to establish the new choir school. To link these buildings, we built two new staircase - one in the south wing of the monastery and the other in Torre del Clericat, which is the tallest building. These two staircases really articulate the different levels of the building. Ascending, the first two floors are occupied by formal education. On the third level we find the music school, which includes the rehearsal room, of notable proportions, as it is one and a half times the height of the room. Finally, the fourth level - at the same level as the ground floor of the third building, the former Novitiate - is dedicated to the domestic part of the Escolania, the boarding school. This part is the one that has undergone the most intervention, as we have managed to transform an old patio into a real cloister. From here, not only does the whole floor receive light and ventilation, but the new cloister is also a magnificent setting from which to contemplate the orographic profile of Montserrat. The top floor of the south wing of the Monastery is occupied by the new Novitiate, which, despite sharing the rest of the building, has the particularity of being separate so as not to intertwine the two programmes. From the outside, the intervention is remarkably respectful of the existing complex, so as not to interfere with the already recognised image of the Monastery. The top floor was built as an attic with a recast, where, on the stone wall, there is a change between the new windows and the old balconies. The roof was clad in copper, as had been done in the Basilica a few years earlier.1999 - 2001
