| Sagrada Familia - one of
the most enigmatic symbols of Barcelona's skyline. The unfinished
Temple of the Sacred Family. Construction was begun in 1882 by the
architects Martorell and De Villar. In 1891 Gaudi took over the project,
which is still incomplete, due to his death in 1926. Construction
continues and your donation on entry pays towards this work. |
| I did make a joke that its the first
time I've paid to visit a Spanish construction site, but really, the visit
was completely worthwhile and fascinating. The building, even in
its current state, is totally awe-inspiring. I am really looking
forward to seeing the completed temple. The following photos give
an idea of some aspects of the facade and interior. For more information
and the full history of this fascinating building, visit the following
