The principal factor to choice this location to build this church was simply the price of the land, since at the time it was located outside the city walls and so the nuns could buy a bigger plot for less money.

The works of the convent began in 1877, it was designed by Joan Martorell i Montells who at that time had a particular assistant named Antoni Gaudí, who assisted in the design of the convent.

The church is an exceptional example of the Neo-Gothic style in Barcelona, with influence from Viollet and Neo-Mudejar. The convent, made of exposed stone and brick, has a courtyard and a porticoed cloister.

The church and the convent suffered several fires throughout its history, some of them with sad stories behind, and is currently fully rehabilitated.
