Commemorative monument erected in the middle of the main square of Colònia Güell in memory of its founder, Eusebi Güell Bacigalupi. It consists of a stone pedestal, on which there is the inscription, in classic typography, "From Colònia Güell to its founder, Eusebi Güell i Bacigalupi, in the year 1890" (sic). The pedestal is stepped in three parts: a cross-shaped base decorated with a double garland in relief, a central part, also in the form of a cross with two large symmetrical volutes that support two crowns of white Carrara marble, and an upper prism that serves as a seat for the sculpture of Eusebi Güell, who carries a book in his left hand, made also of Carrara marble. The sculpture was made by the Oslé brothers in 1935, as is probably the case with the pedestal of classical lines, within the aesthetic canons of Noucentisme.

At the back, the pedestal is used to locate a public water source. Apart from the part that gives access to the aforementioned fountain, the monument is surrounded by a garden area enclosed by a wrought iron railing with borders and garlands.

A square dedicated to Joan Güell, the father of the Colònia Güell’s founder, is located in a decisive point of the complex. The centre of the square is occupied by a fenced (with wrought iron railing) oval garden, where the sculpture stands. The base is built with grey granite that alternates straight and rounded lines - on a rectilinear plinth decorated with mouldings and a border of garlands, two volute elements that flank the central element rise. At the back of the plinth, the wrought-iron fence turns to allow access to a small fountain, located under the inscription "MONUMENT OPENED IN 1935", visibly altered later (filling in some letters and engraving others) to get the Spanish translation "MONUMENTO INAUGURADO AÑO 1935". On one side of the plinth, the names of the sculptors are discreetly engraved: "M. Y L. OSLÉ". On the front, we find the two main inscriptions, again altered because they were translated. Above, that of the dedicatory "LA COLONIA GÜELL AL SEU FUNDAD[OR]", which becomes "LA COLONIA GÜELL A SU FUNDAD[OR]", the final part being covered by the folds of clothing on the upper part. The inscription below reads "EUSEBI GÜELL Y BASIGALUPI EN L'ANY 1890", which becomes "EUSEBIO GÜELL Y BACIGALUPI EN EL AÑO 1890". As a colophon on the granite base, there is a coat of arms of Catalonia with an olive branch. On this grey granite base, which follows the canons and motifs of the academic tradition, three white marble elements stand out. On each of the lateral volutes there is an oval shield surrounded by garlands; one, with the attributes of Hermes (the winged pétasos and the caduceus) accompanied by a hammer and the inscription "WORK"; the other, with the attributes of Athena (a helmet garnished with a ram's head and a lion) accompanied by the inscription "WISDOM". Therefore, both shields want to reflect both the capacity and success of Eusebi Güell in his industrial side as well as his status as an intellectual and protector of artists. Finally, at the top of the set stands the bust of Eusebi Güell, also sculpted in white marble. He is not represented frontally, but in a 3/4 arrangement, and at a height (up to below the chest) that includes the representation of the arms and hands, breaking with a traditional bust configuration. With the long gaze, Eusebi Güell is represented with a book in his hands and with a fabric hanging above the grey base, reinforcing the chromatic and line contrast and, again, reinforcing the double economic aspect (the fabric) and intellectual (the book).

The monument was inaugurated in 1935 partly by popular subscription and partly by a contribution from Colònia Güell S.A. The statue's head was torn off in July 1936 by a group of foreign anarchists by tying a rope around its neck and dragging it with a truck. In 1939 the head was replaced and the Falangists translated the inscription on the pedestal into Spanish. Around 2010 someone broke his nose, which was recently repaired.
