Today's Snapshots

Here you can see the Passion facade

The "Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia" (Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family) is the most incredible building being contracted in Barcelona since 1882, yes it is not finished yet. The city's largest construction site is scheduled for completion in 2026 - 100 year anniversary of Gaudi's death! La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is one of Gaudí's most impressive works, he devoted more than 40 years of his life towards this incredibly impressive project until he passed away in 1926 at the age of 74. The building is truly spectacular from outside. There is a museum in the basement of the building which exhibits the various stages of construction works. Visitors can read about the life of Antoni Gaudi in the museum and watch an audio visual display in a room in the museum. It is visited by more than a million people every year not including those who stand outside and simply gasp on the sidewalks around it. Other than that there is not much else you can really see inside right now as the church is far from being finished due to years of troubles with funding of the project. Currently the construction is supported by the visitor's entrance fee onto the grounds of it ( €8.00 will get you in pass the gates ). The church is a world-wide symbol of Barcelona and probably the most photograph and visited site at the moment. I must say it is impressive and I would love to see it when it finished.
