What you can expect

  • The guided visit begins by meeting the tour guide directly at the old Major Seminary of Comillas, an imposing work by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, in which Joan Martorell also participated. From this first moment, the visitor is immersed in a unique setting, considered one of the great examples of Catalan modernism outside Catalonia.

    Throughout the tour, you will visit its main rooms, such as the majestic entrance, the priest's chapel, the central courtyard, and the old church, spaces that stand out for their ornamental richness, symbolism, and meticulous architecture. The tour guide will reveal the artistic and construction details that make this building a true historical gem.

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

    A tour designed to understand not only the beauty of the building, but also its historical context and its relevance within Modernism.
