Royal Sanctuary of Saint Joseph of the Mountain., Early 20th-century modernist church in La Salut, Barcelona, Spain
The Royal Sanctuary features a monastery, church, and chapel complex displaying neo-Roman architectural elements combined with Catalan modernist design characteristics.
Francesc Berenguer i Mestres designed the sanctuary in 1904, but due to his lack of formal training, Miquel Pasqual Tintorer officially signed the architectural plans.
The sanctuary interior contains ceramic decorations by artist Rirriola, though numerous original elements were lost during the Spanish Civil War period.
The religious complex stands at Avinguda del Santuari de Sant Josep de la Muntanya, near Park Güell and other architectural landmarks of Barcelona.
The sanctuary holds the distinction of being among the first churches worldwide specifically dedicated to Saint Joseph, drawing pilgrims throughout its existence.
