  • Cultural heritage

Josep Manyanet, founder of the Congregation of the Sons of the Holy Family, founded Jesús, Maria i Josep School in 1877. The first location of the school was Carrer Tra­muntana (now Carrer Gran de Sant Andreu) in the build­ing where Casa del Salí is located. The following year, the school moved to the farmhouse of Can Llobet on Carrer Sant Sebastià. The school and the chapel were set alight during the events of Tragic Week in 1909. Between 1923 and 1926 the architect Joaquim Vilaseca i Ribera (1885- 1963) reformed the school and the original chapel. During the Spanish Republic, fearing the seizure of the school by the government, which had decreed the suppression of religious schools in 1932, the monks created the Mútua de Pares de Família (a religious society). With the outbreak of the Civil War, the school buildings were used as a field hospital and the place of worship suffered more damage. In 1964 the chapel of the school became the Parish Church of Jesús, Maria i Josep, by order of Bishop Modrego. Sant Josep Manyanet was canonized in Rome in 2004 and then the church was remodelled, a chapel being built in mem­ory of the twenty martyrs of the congregation, who were beatified in 2013. The church became a sanctuary when the remains of the saint were moved there, buried in the main altar, who died in 1901. The sculptor Francesc Carulla i Serra (1927) made a high-relief altarpiece in travertine for the church. The Manyanet Memorial, unveiled in 2008, collects objects, photos and publications that chart the life and work of the saint and his influence worldwide.
