Explore the Sagrada Familia
In 1883, Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi took over the design and construction of a church in Barcelona dedicated to the Holy Family- “The Sagrada Familia". Extremely passionate about this project, Gaudi continued to work on the church until his death in 1926. Although aware that he would not live to see the project complete, Gaudi designed and laid the foundations for several elements including the naves, the facades and built models for the domes.
Gaudi’s plans, models and records were used to guide all the architects who have continued to work on the Sagrada Familia project. More than 135 years later, It remains unfinished and is estimated to be completed in 2026, the 100th anniversary of Antoni Gaudí's death.
The Sagrada Familia has three monumental façades, each connected to the life of Jesus Christ:
- The Nativity Facade represents the birth of Christ and was the first part of the church that was built by Gaudi.
- The Passion Facade represents the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ.
- The Glory Facade represents Christ’s eternal glory and is the only one yet to be completed. It features scenes of Christ's rise to heaven and eternal bliss. Although unfinished, the glory facade is already taller than any of the other church towers.
The Sagrada Familia Towers are a formidable sight. Of the 18 towers that Gaudi envisioned, 8 have been completed so far- 4 towers on the Nativity Facade and 4 towers on the Passion Facade. The towers on the Nativity Facade look over the east of Barcelona while the towers of the Passion Facade face the city center. You can choose to use the elevator to go up the tower, however, you will have to climb the stairs to get back down.
Access to the Sagrada Familia Towers is not included with the standard admission ticket. You will have to buy a ticket that includes tower access. These tickets allow you to enter the church as well as climb either the Nativity or Passion Facade tower.
Sagrada Familia Towers
The Sagrada Familia Museum is an underground exhibition that houses Gaudi’s construction models, drawings, contemporary photographs and ceremonial furnishings. In the fire of 1936, many of Gaudi’s designs and plaster models were destroyed. After a painstaking process of collecting the destroyed models and restoring them, the Sagrada Familia Museum was opened in the semi-basement under the Passion façade.
Today, visitors can visit the museum to learn more about the life and working process of Gaudi and look at these models to get an understanding of the scale of the construction that Gaudi initiated.
