The Sagrada Familia is a place worth visiting again and again.

👀 Sagrada Familia | God's Architectural Miracle 🎨 📍Location: Located in the center of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. 🕙Construction time: Construction began in 1882 and is still ongoing. 🌟Designer: The masterpiece of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí. 🌈Exterior: - The exterior of the Sagrada Familia is breathtaking, full of intricate details and carvings. The towering towers, magnificent porches, and spectacular rose windows present a colorful charm under different lights. Especially at dusk, the golden sunlight shines on the building, which is even more beautiful. - It has three facades: - The "Nativity Facade" facing the east is the only one completed during Gaudí's lifetime. It depicts the birth of Jesus. The three porches inside each represent the three virtues of theology - faith, hope, and love. - The "Passion Facade" facing the west symbolizes the death of Jesus Christ and was completed by later sculptors under Gaudí's design concept. - The "Glory Facade" facing the south is not yet completed. It will be the largest and most memorable of the three facades, symbolizing the glorious ascension of Jesus Christ. 💫Interior: - Once you step into the church, the huge stone pillars, colored glass windows, intricate arches, and decorative artworks form a fairy-tale space. - The sunlight shines into the church through the stained glass windows, one side presents the cool tones of green, purple, and blue, and the other side is the warm tones of red, yellow, and orange. The color contrast is very strong. 🗼Tower: The Sagrada Familia has a total of 18 towers. The highest tower is the Jesus Tower, representing Jesus Christ; each facade is accompanied by four middle towers, representing the twelve disciples of Jesus; there are also four towers in the center of the building, representing the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Climbing the tower, you can overlook the entire city of Barcelona, including the famous Gothic area and the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. ✨Significance and status: - The Sagrada Familia has become a landmark building in Barcelona with its unique image. - In 1984, part of the Sagrada Familia and Gaudí's other six architectural works in Barcelona were selected as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. 🎫Tickets: The price depends on different tour items, such as tickets + tower climbing (optional birth/passion) + audio guide is 32 euros/adult, etc. ⚠️Tips: - If you want to climb the tower, you must buy it online in advance, and you cannot buy tickets on site. - It is recommended to shoot outside the Sagrada Familia. Although it is beautiful inside, it is not suitable for shooting portraits. If you want to take a panoramic view, you can go to the park opposite. The Sagrada Familia is a place worth visiting again and again. It is not only a building, but also a great work of art that witnesses the history and artistic changes of the century. Look forward to its completion in 2026 on the 100th anniversary of Gaudí's death. 💕
