Visitors taking pictures on top the ordeal (stone hill) next to the Calvary (Turó de les tres creus, three crosses), which is the highest place in Parc Guell, Barcelona, Spain. This is the highest part of the park, from here you can see most of Barcelona. Currently there are three crosses on top of a hill of stone, named the ordeal. Two of them indicate the cardinal points (N-S-E-W), and the other pointing skyward. But this was not the wishes of Gaudí, he wanted to build the chapel here in the city garden, but they found some prehistoric remains, was inspired in caves to build this monument.
