No.1 Sagrada Família by Antonio Gaudí (Giant Basilica)

Barcelona’s no. 1 tourist attraction – La Sagrada Família by Antonio Gaudí

A Giant Basilica designed by the master architect Antonio Gaudí. This building has been under construction since 1882 and they’ve still got another 30 to 80 years (depending on funding and resources) to go before it will be finished. Just imagine the dedication, devotion and commitment involved in creating a building for that length of time.

Some people love the Sagrada Família and some people hate it but whatever you think I guarantee it will cause a reaction one way or the other.

The first time I saw it I was rather shocked. It was so different from anything I had ever seen I had no reference point. However each time I visited it I slowly grew to love the building. Its uniqueness, its boldness and shear size are breathtaking. It is under construction which means that each time you visit you will see something new. You will also be witnessing a masterpiece in its creation as the work will be going on whilst you visit.

I have travelled the world and seen many breathtaking constructions but for me the Sagrada Família is at the top of the list.
