To call the Sagrada Familia beautiful would be an understatement. Antonio Gaudi, the genius designer who has designed Sagrada Familia has left his mark almost all over Barcelona. But this particular building is one of the most striking-looking structures ever built. Although it is incomplete it has a very unique and royal splendour that makes beholding it a rare pleasure.

The famous Nativity façade is extremely intricately sculpted and was finished by the architect himself. Two of the towers have been joint a bridge which can be accessed and provides a spectacular vantage point. There are several reptilian designs, which are Gaudi’s signature, sculpted into stone. The charity doorway especially is exceptional as it not only features intricate stonework but also glasswork. In fact, the carving and sculpting is so rich and varied it has to be seen to be believed. It is hence nor surprising that this historic building has achieved an iconic status not just in Barcelona but all over the world!
