Sagrada Familia

Church in Barcelona



One more work by famous archtect Antoni Gaudi; it is still not finished

The style of la Sagrada Familia is variously likened to Spanish Late Gothic, Catalan Modernism and to Art Nouveau or Catalan Noucentisme. Decoration include words from the liturgy. When designing the temple, Gaudí invented an extraordinary method for determining the correct angle for each of the leaning columns. He made a small hanging model of the church, using string to represent the columns. Then he turned the model upside down and... gravity did the math.

The ongoing construction of Sagrada Familia is paid for by tourism.

It's the building, which every tourist must see in Barcelona. It's as magnificent as it seems to be, while you're looking at the picture... and even more.
