In the last decade of the 19th century, Santiago Rusi\u00f1ol turned Sitges into the mecca of Modernism thanks to the Cau Ferrat and the Modernist Festivals. From that cultural impulse was also born the Terramar Gardens project, designed by Miquel Utrillo\u2014a Modernist agitator, promoter of the Maricel Palace, and close friend of Rusi\u00f1ol\u2014as the green heart of a Mediterranean urban dream. The first garden city in Catalonia was conceived as a space of modernity, intellectuality, and the renewal of artistic languages, values that the Festival has inherited and brings to life every summer.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">In 2026, a hundred years after the death of Antoni Gaud\u00ed\u2014on June 10, 1926\u2014we look back at that founding moment. Gaud\u00ed and Rusi\u00f1ol were contemporaries of the same movement, of the same Barcelona bubbling with creativity. Modernism was not limited to architecture: Rusi\u00f1ol contributed to the movement with paintings and posters that captured the spirit of the time, and he organized the Modernist Festivals in Sitges\u2014festivals combining theater, poetry, painting, and music\u2014which are still celebrated today. The Terramar Festival is, in a way, the living legacy of that idea. The conviction that culture is a total act\u2014that music, the arts, and the landscape cannot be understood separately\u2014is the same one that the Terramar CaixaBank Festival embraces every summer in the gardens where it all began.<\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"16\"><b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Gaud\u00ed Crypt, near Sitges<\/b><\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17\">In the Baix Llobregat region, just a few kilometers from the Terramar Gardens, stands the Crypt of the Col\u00f2nia G\u00fcell in Santa Coloma de Cervell\u00f3. Built between 1908 and 1915, it is considered the structural laboratory where Gaud\u00ed experimented with the solutions he would apply years later to the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia: brick vaults, leaning columns, and organic integration with the landscape. It is part of the &#8220;Works of Antoni Gaud\u00ed&#8221; site, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"18\">An essential place to understand the origins of the genius who commemorates the centenary of his death in 2026. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaesmoltmes.cat\/ca\/-\/la-cripta-gaudi-patrimoni-mundial\">Discover the Gaud\u00ed Crypt<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"20\"><b data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">More Gaud\u00ed in the province of Barcelona<\/b><\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"21\">Gaud\u00ed&#8217;s footprint around Barcelona is much wider than is often known.
