Cooperative Winery of Cornudella de Montsant

Monument · Cornudella de Montsant, Priorat, Tarragona

The Celler Cooperatiu de Cornudella de Montsant, a modernist winery located at the entrance to the village, was built between 1919 and 1922 by the architect Cèsar Martinell i Brunet, commissioned by the Cornudella Agricultural Union. The building, rectangular in plan with a basement and several sections of different heights, made use of a hollow in the ground to place the underground vats at surface level, covered with parabolic brick arches and Catalan vaults; inside it houses vats with a capacity of 11,000 hectolitres. The main façade, of exposed stone, is organised on three levels: a plinth with the round-arched entrance door, a rendered section with a large three-light window, and the upper crowning of the building.
