Cultural heritage

The Capuchins commissioned Enric Sagnier with what was to be a sanctuary, both spiritual and for social activity. It was on 25 March 1908 that the foundation stone was laid of the church of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii (the Italian sanctuary was the inspiration for it). The façades are of exposed brick combined with stone, where there is a relief and the image of Saint Francis of Assisi, by Josep Llimona.
The church soon became the place where Noucentista men of letters and politicians worshipped, as well as being the meeting place of the Barcelona bourgeoisie. After the Spanish Civil War, it was converted into a provisional hospital run by the Red Cross and nowadays it houses the provincial curia of the Capuchin order.
Sagnier designed other notable buildings in Barcelona, such as the Expiatory Temple of the Sacred Heart on Tibidabo, the Customs House in the port and the Palace of Justice.
