The Sagrada Família Takes Its Final Shape

I visited last month and it is incredibly stunning to see in person. The amazing amount of detail on the facade carvings along with the organic design is something I have not seen on any building. There is what appears to be a Christmas tree topping the front facade.

My only regret is not going inside as it was waaaay too hot to stand in line for hours to get inside. Though I walked around it taking pictures.

I visited it last year for the first time. Indescribably stunning, I can't recommend it enough.

99% invisible made an amazing episode on this nearly 10 years ago. The story of gaudi, how he died, how the plans of the church were destroyed, and how they're reconstructing the architecture. All that aside, the cathedral is mind blowing.

As others have said the Sagrada Familia is incredible and I had high expectations given all the controversy around it. I've visited many historic churches during my travels and it's my favorite one. Really neat to see it reach this stage.

I can't help but feel Warhammer 40K vibes when looking at this thing. It's a monstrosity, directly from the Warp

It gives me hope that sometimes, mankind can take a long term project. Even with warts and all.

Im not that interested in architecture, but this was stunning. Such immense vision from original the architect.

This is one of the most magnificent buildings I've seen in my life and everyone should go see it even if you're not religious. It's incredible the vision the architect had over 100 years ago.
