The church of Santa Tereseta, commissioned by the Bishop of Barcelona Manuel Irutita and located in Gràcia, stands out for its belfry and its sandstone facade.
The architect Josep Domènech i Massana designed this original church that combines a Neoclassical interior and a northern European-style exterior, reminding us that it is dedicated to the worship of the Carmelite nun born in Normandy, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
In honour of its first rector and a pioneer of rambling in Catalonia, Monsignor Jaume Oliveres i Brossa, the Centre Excursionista de Gràcia (walkers’ club) has been organising an annual walk since 1972 from Matagalls to Montserrat, following the route taken by Monsignor Oliveras for the first time on 4 August 1904.
