The Cripta Gaudí is a part of the Colonia Güell. The project started in 1898 when Güell hired Gaudí to built a church. The church was supposed to have an upper and a lower nave. Because of financial problems, the Güell family did not want to pay anymore, the church could not be finished. Only one of the naves was built and so it was decided that they would call it a crypt.
Even if the building was never completely finished it is today known as one of the most famous works of Antoni Gaudí.
The Cripta shows many elements that were later on used to build the Sagrada Familia.
In 2005 the Crypta was listed in the World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
When you visit Barcelona, do not miss the opportunity to look at the Cripta Gaudí.
