Barcelona Trip Overview
The Sagrada Família is a truly exceptional Basilica , the result of the work of genius architect Antoni Gaudí. Today, more than 135 years after the laying of the cornerstone, construction continues on the Basilica.
You will know the reasons why is still unfinished and when it will be finished. You will see what’s already built and what’s still left.
While looking at La Sagrada Familia, we begin to see Gaudi’s masterpiece for what it really is — a tribute. It’s not simply a building in which to house a worship service, sufficiently ornate to be distinguished as a basilica, but a force of nature. The building seems to be reaching to the heavens, growing and climbing toward a higher understanding. The prolonged time spent in construction gives an added sense of the natural process.
I suggest to do the tour in the afternoon, from 2 pm, when the sun is at the west side.
