Basilica of Saint Joseph Oriol

The Basilica of Saint Joseph Oriol features two symmetrical bell towers and a Renaissance-style facade, designed according to classical architectural principles.

Construction of the church began in 1915 under architect Enric Sagnier, and the building received its minor basilica title from Pope Pius XI in 1936.

The basilica contains multiple chapels dedicated to different saints and hosts religious ceremonies throughout the year for the local Catholic community.

Located at coordinates 41.383632, 2.157872, the basilica remains open for religious services and visits in the L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample district.

The building's reconstruction after the Spanish Civil War fire damage required twelve years of dedicated restoration work to return it to its original state.
