Inside the Beauty of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona

Antony Goudy was a genius. He was born in the Catalonia region in Spain. Once you are in Barcelona, you will be able to see his influences throughout the city. But what amazed me more is his vision and confidence. His masterpiece was the Sagrada Familia. This wonderful architecture remains on everyones things to do in Barcelona list. An itinerary to Barcelona is incomplete without a visit to Sagrada Familia.

What is Sagrada Familia?

Painted glass all around – Inside of Sagrada is beautiful!

In short, it is an unfinished roman catholic church!

But that’s not it. This is one of the most marvelous architectures in the world. When Anthony Gaudy started building this in 1883, he knew that; he didn’t have the budget (and time) to finish his dream. But, he knew that it’s possible to build it. So, he started his work and said to people that it will be completed even after his death.

Many people wondered how! But, Gaudy knew that, even if it is an incomplete work, people will come to visit it and will pay for that.

That’s what is happening now. People like me went to see a church which is not completed yet and still I paid for it!

And, it was worth every penny. It was gorgeous and beautiful.

Don’t you believe me? Below are some photos of the church so that you, too, can believe it.

The interior of Sagrada familia is colorful, ornamental, and mystic.
