Qype: Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona



Barcelona - Arts & Entertainment - Landmarks

La Sagrada Familia is spectacular and a must-see for anyone finding themselves in Barcelona, even if just for the day. It's a Gaudi-designed masterpiece that will be built and completed over a hundred years! It's a key tourist attraction in Barcelona and so in busier periods you have to prepare to wait to get in and to get the lift to the top, however in the early morning there tends to only be a short queue for the lift (and the 2 euro charge is definitely worth it).

The structure is a photographer's playground with the intricately sculpted exterior, while the interior speaks of greater wonders to come. With some 50-something years yet to go before estimated completion, I plan to check out the progress again in a decade or two.
