Cathedral Sagrada Família

Today we stated at Sagrada Família. This Art Nouveau cathedral was designed by Antoni Gaudí. Nouveau is not my favorite style but this place was magnificent.

He started the building project in 1889 and it’s still going!!! The many parts that are finished feature an endless selection of Bible figures and icons. The exterior is bizarre and beautiful but the interior is simply breathtaking. Huge vaulted ceiling supported by equally huge pillars placed perfectly to frame an unbelievable set of stained glass windows.

The only bad part of this tour was being on a tour ;) I would have enjoyed it more if I had just meandered on my own… experiencing this awesome cathedral with music in my ears instead of Charlie Brown’s teacher wah wah wahing throughout the world’s tallest cathedral!
