Monument · Vilafranca del Penedès, Alt Penedès, Barcelona

A self-built complex with mosaics and domes of Byzantine inspiration, begun in 1940 by the florist and self-taught artist Rafael Bolet, who said he had received a vision in 1908 ordering him to build it; he lived on the site from 1922, extending and decorating it for the rest of his life.
