Sanctuary of Santa Gemma, Barcelona, Catholic sanctuary in Pedralbes, Barcelona, Spain.

The Sanctuary of Santa Gemma features three naves and a modern bell tower, with interior walls adorned by fourteen detailed Stations of the Cross frescoes.

The sanctuary, built between 1953 and 1957, was designed by Basque architect Eugenio Pedro Cendoya Oscoz, who also created the Palau Nacional de Montjuïc.

The church displays a central statue of Saint Gemma Galgani and contains a crucifix created by sculptor Joan Puigdollers beneath the main religious figure.

Located at Capità Arenas 7-9, the sanctuary schedules daily masses, confession services, and maintains a guitar group performing during Sunday celebrations.

The interior preserves a significant relic of Saint Gemma Galgani, while the walls feature frescoes painted in 1960 by artist Rafael Rosés Rivadavia.
