Church of Sant Gregori Taumaturg, Catholic church in Sant Gervasi-Galvany, Barcelona, Spain.
Church of Sant Gregori Taumaturg is a circular Catholic building in Sant Gervasi-Galvany featuring 22 columns topped with baroque capitals that support the main structure. Large stained glass windows brighten the interior with colored light and soft arches complete the architectural framework.
Construction started in 1954 under architect Bartomeu Llongueres Gaí but stalled for many years until work resumed in 1995 with a simplified design. The delayed completion reflects how decades of planning came together in the final structure visitors see today.
The building honors Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus, an early Christian figure whose name resonates through the neighborhood's religious identity. Visitors come here to connect with this tradition of faith that shapes the local community.
The interior is open to visitors, but access depends on religious services and special events, so checking ahead is wise before making a trip. Those entering should respect the sacred nature of the space and dress appropriately.
The stained glass windows were designed by artist Joan Vila Grauper using varied colors that shift the feel of the interior throughout the day. This changing interplay of light is often overlooked by visitors yet becomes one of the most memorable aspects.
