Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) presented at Colònia Güell station a customized train with aesthetic elements of the Gaudí Crypt.
This customization, the first of a train interior, is an initiative of FGC and the Barcelona Provincial Authority (Diputació), with the collaboration of 3M, Grup ESSA, Nogales Barcelona and Advanced Leisure Services, and seeks to showcase the importance of this historic monument, by Antoni Gaudí, and its link to the rail station.
The decoration of the train with the most typical a rchitectonic elements of the crypt has been adapted to the layout and particular features of the train interior.
Accordingly, the ceiling, doors, sides, seat-backs and end wall of the train have been adorned with a special decoration that shows elements identified with the emblematic Gaudí building: details of the ceiling, the columns, the stained-glass windows, the altar and the crypt’s characteristic pews.
Declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 2005, the Gaudí Crypt is one of the most emblematic parts of the historic Colònia Güell. In 1898, Eusebi Güell commissioned Antoni Gaudí to build a church of the
colony in Santa Coloma de Cervelló.
