The church of inclined columns

Under his patron's protection, Gaudí designed the church of the industrial colony founded by Eusebi Güell. This commission not only allowed him to experiment with a revolutionary weight calculation system but also to experiment in situ with many of the solutions that he would apply to later constructions, as it was a great scale maquette.

Although Eusebi Güell's business failed and it was impossible to finsih the building, the main staircasse, the crypt and the entrance archway before it, formed by a forest of basaltic stone and brick maintaining a close dialogue with the surrounding landscape, wre competed.
