Gaudi’s unfinished masterpiece is a joy to behold.
Antoni Gaudi’s unique architecture is splattered across Barcelona. Palau Guell, Casa Viceus, La Pedrera and the Casa Mila are just part of his portfolio. You could spend days admiring these sights.
His most notable work is the Sagrada Familia. This unique basilica has become a symbol for a city that likes to be different and it attracts millions of visitors from all around the globe.
And no wonder. It is an amazing structure. Stare up towards the plethora of spires and study the thousands of sculptures that decorate and enhance your view.
Inside the light is glorious. Take in the wonderful tree like pillars, the intricate ceiling and the gorgeous stained glass windows. Most of all, just find a quiet place to sit and take time to absorb the serenity of this special place.
You can take an elevator and rise up the Nativity Tower. From there you can take a close up of the sculptures and appreciate breathtaking views of the city and beyond. Don’t become too dizzy though, your return journey is down a long spiral staircase.
The construction of Sagrada Familia commenced in 1882 and it is not finished yet. It is a fascinating building that will surprise and reward you every time you look at it.
Unmissable.
