Located on one of the widest avenues of the city and more or less cornering the Avinguda Diagonal, this church is one of the most original and modern ones in Barcelona. It is part of the Colegio de los Hermanos Maristas. This rather impressive building, dating back to the end of the 19th century, is made from plain red brick and decorated with colourful tiles and ceramics. Its architect, Joan Martorell, succeeded in giving the work the idea of reaching for the skies by using narrow and long capitals.
