Centre d'Interpretació i Acollida

The Centre d'Interpretació i Acollida is an information center and museum that tells the story of the local area through displays and models. The rooms contain photographs, objects, and explanatory panels showing how the Colònia Güell functioned.

The center documents the area's transformation from an industrial colony into a modern location using historical photographs and artifacts. The exhibits show how the settlement and its functions changed over time.

The center shows how the industrial colony shaped daily life and work for families who lived there. You can see how homes, factories, and community spaces were organized to support the workers and their dependents.

Plan to spend enough time to explore all exhibition areas and read the information at a comfortable pace. The staff can answer questions and recommend other sites to visit in the area.

The center holds a scale model that was used for planning a church in the Colònia Güell, revealing how architects worked in the early 20th century. This model is a rare glimpse into the design methods used when the site was being shaped.
