la sagrada familia

after losing all of my files from the past 2 years,
i have resorted to revisiting old saved files.

La Sagrada Familia is one of Antonio Gaudi's most famous works in barcelona.  it is a giant basilica that has been under construction since 1882.


barcelona's la sagrada familia was under construction
both times i was there....it is still being worked on.
(anticipated completion is 2026...100 years after Gaudi's death)

at the time, i was not happy with the scaffolding and
big cranes disturbing the skyline,  but looking back,
there are some beautiful and colorful lines created.




exquisite curvilinear forms are found in the interior of the building
gaudi's art nouveau influence is apparent
