In this first stage, the catalogue focuses on the modern and contemporary architecture designed and built between 1832 –year of construction of the first industrial chimney in Barcelona that we establish as the beginning of modernity– until today.
The project is born to make the architecture more accessible both to professionals and to the citizens through a website that is going to be updated and extended. Contemporary works of greater general interest will be incorporated, always with a necessary historical perspective, while gradually adding works from our past, with the ambitious objective of understanding a greater documented period.
The collection feeds from multiple sources, mainly from the generosity of architectural and photographic studios, as well as the large amount of excellent historical and reference editorial projects, such as architectural guides, magazines, monographs and other publications. It also takes into consideration all the reference sources from the various branches and associated entities with the COAC and other collaborating entities related to the architectural and design fields, in its maximum spectrum.
Special mention should be made of the incorporation of vast documentation from the COAC Historical Archive which, thanks to its documental richness, provides a large amount of valuable –and in some cases unpublished– graphic documentation.
The rigour and criteria for selection of the works has been stablished by a Documental Commission, formed by the COAC’s Culture Spokesperson, the director of the COAC Historical Archive, the directors of the COAC Digital Archive, and professionals and other external experts from all the territorial sections that look after to offer a transversal view of the current and past architectural landscape around the territory.
The determination of this project is to become the largest digital collection about Catalan architecture; a key tool of exemplar information and documentation about architecture, which turns into a local and international referent, for the way to explain and show the architectural heritage of a territory.
We kindly invite you to help us improve the dissemination of Catalan architecture through this space. Here you can propose works and provide or amend information on authors, photographers and their work, along with adding comments. The Documentary Commission will analyze all data. Please do only fill in the fields you deem necessary to add or amend the information.

S'accedeix al puig de les tres creus per un camí tortuós que coincideix en part amb el Via Crucis que surt del santuari de Rocaprevera. El cim del turó és totalment aplanat i s'ha construït una terrassa de lloses de pedra. El perfil té una barana de pilons de pedra que sustenten un passamà de ferro. A la banda est hi ha les tres creus sobre una base d'obra. La creu central és la més gran que les altres. És una representació del Calvari, amb Jesús al centre i els dos lladres a cada banda. Les creus són de ferro i tenen una base de pedra picada amb una columna i un capitell poligonal. Les creus són gregues amb un cercle que uneix les aspes.
En el paviment hi ha representada la rosa dels vents i marca la situació dels pobles i cims propers.
Sembla que ja abans del 1686 hi havia tres creus de fusta en aquest mateix indret. Aquí s'hi celebrava el trobament de la Santa Creu el 3 de maig. Es feia un via crucis que sortia de l'església de Sant Feliu fins a arribar aquest cim. Després van passar a fer una processó amb cants de lletanies.
El 1736 es va fer una reparació de les creus, que al ser de fusta es malmetien amb facilitat.
A principis del segle XX la creu principal era de fusta i les altres eren de ferro i sobre una columna d'obra.
L'any 1913 se celebraren les festes constantinianes i es col·locaren les noves creus que es van pagar amb una subscripció popular.
