Sagrada Família – “The Forest and the Symphony of Light Within the Basilica”
Have you ever been to a church like this? Take a look around you. Do you notice that there are no chapels along the aisles and very few statues inside the basilica?
The main feature here is the open space. The images of saints are placed outside and tell the story of the life of Jesus. The architect designed this interior as if it were a vast forest. Nature is a vital influence in Gaudí’s work.
Pay attention to the surrounding columns. They resemble giant trees, with their tops spreading out like branches and foliage, reaching toward the ceiling. This structure is not just aesthetic—those “branches” actually support the vaulted ceiling. This solution allows the building to reach impressive heights without the external buttresses typical of medieval cathedrals. The combination of beauty and function is a defining element in Gaudí’s work.
We could describe the basilica as a Bible written in stone.
