Description

Step inside Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia and discover Barcelona's most iconic monument through the narrative of your expert guide. Your tour begins at the Nativity Facade. As you look closer, you’ll see scenes from the birth of Christ surrounded by plants, animals, and symbols inspired by nature. It’s easy to see why this side is considered the most joyful and expressive. It’s filled with details that celebrate life and creation. Next, stop at the model of the completed Sagrada Familia and visualize how this masterpiece will look once finished. Your guide will share the latest updates on the ongoing construction and explain how modern architects continue to interpret Gaudi’s original plans more than a century later. Then, step inside and take a moment to look up. The towering columns branch out like trees, creating a feeling of standing in a peaceful forest. As sunlight filters through the colorful stained-glass windows, the interior glows with shifting hues of red, green, and blue that change throughout the day. After exploring the interior, head outside to the Passion Facade, a huge contrast to the one you saw earlier. Its stark lines and dramatic sculptures tell the story of Christ’s final days. You’ll feel the expression of pain and redemption on this facade. Your visit concludes in the Sagrada Familia Museum, located beneath the basilica. Enjoy free time to wander through Gaudi’s original models, sketches, and photographs. Learn how his designs developed and changed. Don’t miss the upside-down model of the basilica showing how Gaudi envisioned and engineered this extraordinary masterpiece.
