Eloi de Bianya, born Joan Ayats Plantalech, was a Catalan Capuchin friar who lived in Spain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Sant Salvador in 1875, he previously worked in village construction before joining the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin in 1900. He served the community as a doorman at the Sarrià convent. His life ended in 1936 when he was killed in Barcelona while attempting to flee the city alongside a fellow friar and his nephew.
