Gaudi started work on small scale design projects such as lampposts. His design of a showcase for a glove manufacturer used at the 1878 ''Exposition Universelle'' (Worlds Fair) in [[Paris]], first brought him to the attention a wealthy Catalan industrialist Eusebio Güell, but his first important work was for the private residence in Barcelona of another industrialist - Manuel Vicens, a brick and tile manufacturer.

Eusebio Güell and Gaudi were both ardent [[Roman Catholics|Catholics]] and shared common interests. Güell gave Gaudi a series of commissions, the first of which was for a ''Finca Güell'' the entrance pavilion and stables for what was to be the ''Palau Guell'' (literally a palace) in the unfashionable district of Pedralbes. It was about this time that Gaudi became involved with the Cathedral of the Holy Family - ''[[La Sagrada Familia]]''. The crypt had been started in 1882 by another architect, Francisco del Villar who abandoned it in 1883. Gaudi took over the project which eventually took over him for the remaining 43 years of his life.  He completed the crypt in 1891 and then started on the walls.
