Església Major, Neo-Gothic church in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Spain

The Església Major features a single nave design with a prominent bell tower and vertical architectural elements typical of neo-Gothic construction techniques.

Construction of the church began on May 26, 1912, replacing a previous Baroque structure, and was completed in 1915 under architect Francesc Berenguer i Mestres.

The church earned the local nickname 'the cathedral' upon its completion due to its substantial size compared to other buildings in the 2,000-resident town.

The building stands at Plaza de la Església 3 in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, maintaining regular services and welcoming visitors throughout the week.

During the Spanish Civil War in 1936, the structure survived a fire and temporary conversion into a storage facility, though its parish archives were destroyed.
