The city of Terrassa is home to various religious sculptures, many of which are integrated into the urban landscape, whether in residential buildings or places of worship. Among these, the figure of Saint Helena stands out, adorning the facade of the Santa Creu church.

This piece, made of limestone, is the work of sculptor Ferran Bach-Esteve Massaneda and dates back to 1960. The sculpture is located within an enclosure, not directly at street level, on the Rellinars road.

Ferran Bach-Esteve Massaneda, born in 1929 in Sant Pau de Fenollet, moved to Terrassa at the age of four, where he passed away in 1992. His artistic career evolved from classicism with Noucentista roots to abstraction, and over time, he incorporated stainless steel as a material in his creations. This sculpture of Saint Helena is one of several works by Bach-Esteve that can be found in the city.

The depiction of Saint Helena shows her standing, crowned and dressed in a mantle, with her hands at chest height in a posture of prayer. Known as a Roman empress and mother of Constantine I, tradition attributes to her the discovery of the True Cross in Jerusalem, which explains her connection to the Santa Creu parish.
