Gomis Colony
autoria desconeguda
The colony consisted of a factory, a row of houses and the Neo-Romanesque Church of the Virgin of the Rosary. The Can Gomis textile industrial colony was founded in 1891 by Francesc Gomis i Soler from Manresa. Dedicated from its beginnings to the production of cotton yarn and fabrics, in 1909 a power plant was installed here, supplying electricity to Monistrol de Montserrat, Olesa de Montserrat, the mountain and the Monastery of Montserrat, as well as other towns. The plant became part of the Segre group of hydroelectric forces created by the same company. The Neo-Romanesque church of the Gomis Colony, dedicated to the Virgin of the Rosary, was designed by architect Alexandre Soler i March. In the summer of 1985, the Gomis Colony factory was closed, at that time employing 72 workers, 80% of whom came from the town of Monistrol de Montserrat. Years later, the factory reopened and remains in operation today.second half of the 19th century

Stations of the Cross of Montserrat
A group of isolated sculptural groups which, from the purest Neoclassical style to the latest trends in abstract sculpture, represent each of the themes of the Stations of the Cross at the fourteen stations. The original pieces were destroyed during the early years of the Spanish Civil War and were later replaced by the current ones, works by Margarita de Sant Jordi, Francisco Juventeny and the more modern and stylised ones by Domènec Fita. At the end of the ‘Via Crucis’ route (a twenty-minute walk) there is the chapel of the Virgin of Solitude. Between 1904 and 1919, the fourteen Stations of the Cross of the Monastery were designed and sculpted. These first sculptures were destroyed in the early stages of the Spanish Civil War and were later rebuilt. At the end of the ‘Via Crucis’ we find the Chapel of the Virgin of Solitude.1915 - 1916

Escoles Noves
Edifici de planta gairebé rectangular, amb dos cossos al voltant d'un altre cos central, que sobresurt en façana. En aquest cos central hi ha l'escala que fa de distribuidor. Els laterals tenen planta baixa i pis, mentre que el cos central disposa d'un altre pis. Les parets són d'obra, arrebossades i pintades; la teulada és de teula. Al voltant de l'edifici hi ha una zona amb jardins i equipaments esportius per als alumnes. El projecte és de 1935 i les obres van iniciar-se el 1936. L'any 1939, durant un bombardeig, l'edifici va ser enrunat parcialment, però després de la guerra es van reemprendre les obres, que es van donar per acabades el 1940. -
La Font Gran
autoria desconeguda
La font gran es troba en una plaça de grans dimensions, dita de la Font Gran, a un nivell una mica inferior del terra de la plaça i s'accedeix a ella a través d'unes escales. Està constituïda per un alt mur rematat en un frontó semicircular; una cornisa ressegueix la part superior, en la clau hi ha la data 1997 i els extrems estan rematats per una bola de pedra. Al l'interior del frontó hi ha l'escut de la vila. A la part baixa del mur hi ha la pila i els brocs per on raja l'aigua. La Font Gran rep el nom de la deu que subministra d'aigua tot el poble. Fins al segle XVI rebia el nom de Font de la Resclosella però també se la coneix com a font Major o la Canaleta. L'any 1923, l'arquitecte barceloní Joan Bruguera i Roget va fer un projecte molt ambiciós per reformar la plaça però no es va dugué a terme. L'any 1926 es va començar la intervenció per la conducció de les aigües de la font i el soterrament del tram de torrent corresponent a la plaça de la Font Gran; l'objectiu de l'obra era la captació i conducció de l'aigua per la seva posterior distribució a tot el poble de Monistrol. Va ser durant aquestes obres que la cisterna de la font es va remodelar, a l'igual que la part superior de la façana per tal de fer-la més digna. El dia 25 de març de 1928 es va fer l'acte d'inauguració del subministrament d'aigua al poble. Els anys 1972-1974 es va remodelar i urbanitzar la plaça agafant la fisonomia que té actualment. Aquestes obres comportaren la total cobertura del torrent de les Guilleumes i es reorganitzà la plaça. -

Mare de Déu del Roser de la Colònia Gomis Church
Neo-Romanesque style church of the 20th century following the Romanesque forms of the 11th century and synthesising great contributions of the Catalan Romanesque style from different places in order to achieve a prototype of a Romanesque church. The style used within the historicist forms is the First Romanesque or Lombard Romanesque: it has blind arches, Lombard bands, semi-circular arches, barrel vaults, a bell tower with floors which is separate from the church and regular stones placed at the junction. The dome that crowns the transept forms a Latin cross plan that tends to the Greek cross. It has three apses in degradation and the central one has three apsidioles. The Neo-Romanesque church of La Mare de Déu del Roser in Colònia Gomis was inaugurated in 1930 and is the work of the architect Alexandre Soler i March. It was the last work of the colony, which was made up of the factory, the housing for the workers and the church with additional religious buildings. La colony had been founded in 1891 by the industrialist Francesc Gomis i Soler and until recent years has been dedicated to cotton yarns and fabrics. -

Montserrat Choir School
Espinet/Ubach, Arquitectes i Associats, Miquel Espinet i Mestre, Antoni Ubach i Nuet
Out of the group of buildings that make up Montserrat Abbey, the three located in the northernmost part were subject to different transformations to establish the new choir school. To link these buildings, we built two new staircase - one in the south wing of the monastery and the other in Torre del Clericat, which is the tallest building. These two staircases really articulate the different levels of the building. Ascending, the first two floors are occupied by formal education. On the third level we find the music school, which includes the rehearsal room, of notable proportions, as it is one and a half times the height of the room. Finally, the fourth level - at the same level as the ground floor of the third building, the former Novitiate - is dedicated to the domestic part of the Escolania, the boarding school. This part is the one that has undergone the most intervention, as we have managed to transform an old patio into a real cloister. From here, not only does the whole floor receive light and ventilation, but the new cloister is also a magnificent setting from which to contemplate the orographic profile of Montserrat. The top floor of the south wing of the Monastery is occupied by the new Novitiate, which, despite sharing the rest of the building, has the particularity of being separate so as not to intertwine the two programmes. From the outside, the intervention is remarkably respectful of the existing complex, so as not to interfere with the already recognised image of the Monastery. The top floor was built as an attic with a recast, where, on the stone wall, there is a change between the new windows and the old balconies. The roof was clad in copper, as had been done in the Basilica a few years earlier.1999 - 2001
