LASAGRADAFAMILIA:A LIVINGHISTORYOF BARCELONA'SICONIC CATHEDRALBYGAUDÍ

With high hopes of experiencing La Sagrada Familia in the best possible way I took the guided tour to But unfortunately luck was not by my side that day Just an hour before the tour, it started to rain with strong winds

The tour guide tried his best to show the external architecture and the details of the 3 facades But it was hard to see due to the bad weather

Nevertheless inside of the cathedral was mind blowing The mix of Gothic and Art Nouveau styles are a true reflection of Gaudí's unique design philosophy, and it was fascinating to see the way he incorporated nature into the structure of the building Other than the beautiful architecture, since we all 4 were from different countries and culture, we had a wonder time exchanging interesting facts about our cultures An interesting fact about the cathedral is, it is still under construction even after 100 years, but the intricate details and the sheer scale of the project are breathtaking
