Barcelona: La Sagrada Familia

About La Sagrada Familia:

There are many sites here for Catholic travelers, perhaps the most well known being the Sagrada Familia (Church of the Holy Family). It is one of the longest construction projects in the world, having begun in 1882 and still under construction today. Yet it is visited by millions of people each year.

The magnificent design by Gaudi and the stained glass windows draw pilgrims and tourists alike. The outside as you can see is heavily Gothic whereas the inside is quite different and hard to describe, other than to say it is impressively beautiful and peaceful.

You will need to tickets to get in: you can wait in line (could be over an hour) or buy them online. There is an audio guide available that is highly recommended.
