The Young Martyr
The toponym of Santa Coloma dates back to ancient Rome, in the form of Columba, meaning “dove”. The patron saint of this locality, Santa Coloma, pays tribute to Santa Columba de Sens, a girl from the French Pyrenees who was martyred and condemned to die at the stake by the Emperor Aurelian. Meanwhile, the term Gramenet derives from the Latin word graminetu, meaning “field of gramineae”, whereas gramineae is an herb found in pine and oak forests, and which was plentiful in this area.
