Gaudi s magnum opus

Gaudi s magnum opus

Any itinerary for Barcelona without this would be incomplete. In fact, if you don t see anything else, just visit this building. It doesn t even matter if you aren t a church type, or have been around every church in the world already nothing is going to prepare you for the interior of Gaudi s magnum opus (Gaudi most recognized work, but also his best). It is also rated as one of the world's top attractions by TripAdvisor users worldwide.

It was designed by Antoni Gaudi back in 1882 and is expected to be finished in 2026 which marks the 100th death anniversary of its architect Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi knew that he would not live to finish the temple and once famously said, 'My client is not in a hurry' by this he was referring to God as his client. 2026 will be 144 years after the building was started. Over 20 architects and 200 building workers are employed here. It s a huge Basilica with admirable art and architecture.

He could not live to see it complete but his designs/sketches have been used for completing his work.
No pictures or videos do justice to this wonderful monument. You can stand for hours craning your neck admiring the beauty and looking at the glass artwork inside is beautiful. The play of light and colors inside is jaw-dropping. There is a museum in the basement giving you a glimpse of the history behind the construction.

Advanced reservation with time slot (Well in advance) is a must else you find them all sold out, and you 'll be entered in this time slot only. The audio guide is advisable to not miss the intricacies. The ticket prices are on the steeper side with various ranges starting from a visit to the interior of the basilica to climbing up the towers. But you know the good part? You are contributing to a bit of actual history here, as your funds go towards the on-going construction of this incredible building.
