The main altar of La Sagrada Familia.
Gaudi designed the interior to suggest a mystical forest. This Basilica has been under construction since 1892. Gaudi died in 1926, with it only partially finished and there are plans to have it finished by the centenary of Gaudi's death, 2026. The picture at the top of the page is a view of the cathedral from Park Guell. When we arrived at La Sagrada for a tour at 9am on a Monday morning, there was a line stretching about three quarters of the way around the cathedral. Fortunately groups could get in much faster. By 11am there was a three hour wait to enter the towers. It is the most visited site in Barcelona. |
