La Sagrada Familia

The most iconic landmark in Barcelona Spain is La Sagrada Familia. Also called Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family, it is considered the finest example of Modernist architecture designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi, though some facts say that Francisco de Paula del Villar was the original designer and after he died, Gaudi took over.

Initially, this site was intended to be a Roman Catholic church devoted to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. But eventually, it became an excellent example of Catalan Modernism and in 2010, Pope Benedict XVI announced it as a basilica.

Gaudi had a philosophy that nature is the work of God and thus, he combined Christian speech and biblical allegories with natural symbols like geometric shapes in every column, tower, and stained glass window of the structure.

Temple de la Sagrada Família is still unfinished after being under construction for nearly 140 years and has become one of Spain's most visited monuments with a record 4.7 million visitors in 2019.
