Asil del Sant Crist, Catalan modernist church in Igualada, Spain.

The Asilo del Santo Cristo features uncut stone construction with a bell tower, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and stained glass windows throughout the structure.

Construction began in 1931 through donations from the Castells sisters, paused during the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, and completed in 1941.

The chapel displays stained glass art depicting the Holy Trinity, multiple saints, and representations of Teresa de Jesús Jornet alongside elderly figures.

Located at Milà i Fontanals 8, the building functions as a residential facility for elderly care, managed by the Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly.

Four monolithic stone columns from Gerona support the parabolic arches of the chapel, with one column bearing the modernist signature of architect Joan Rubió.
