Reus is set to build a chapel designed by Antoni Gaudí, bringing a work by the architect to the city where he was born. The Gresol Foundation, with approval from the Sagrada Família Board, will replicate the Chapel of the Assumption, which is already under construction in the cloister of Barcelona's Sagrada Família.
The project is valued at €10 million, according to Diari de Tarragona. It is being led by business figures in Reus and is described as a major cultural investment for the city.
The Chapel of the Assumption is part of the Sagrada Família project in Barcelona, and the plan in Reus is to reproduce that design locally. The move links Gaudí's birthplace with one of his best-known works, while keeping the focus on his architectural legacy in Catalonia.
The Gresol Foundation says it has the necessary permissions from the Sagrada Família Board. That approval is intended to ensure the design is reproduced faithfully and remains aligned with the original concept.
