The first place we stop at on the second day is the famous churchof Senor Gaudi. He was the second architect to work on it.
In 1877 the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar started
the church then backed out because of some disagreements
between Del Villar and the council, represented by Juan Martorell Montells.
The first stone was placed on March 19, 1882, on the festival of St. Joseph
. Gaudí officially took over construction on March 18, 1883 ..
