Sagrada Familia - grandest church in Spain
Sagrada Familia was the most astonishing chapels I’ve been to in the world. Stepping into the church was a feast for your eyes - the church was intricately designed in Gaudi’s distinct style. I paid 26Euros for the entry ticket that comes with an audio tour.
Tip: Enter during the dusk period to see the sunlight shine through the stained glass and fill the chapel in the colours of rainbow. #spain #barcelona #lasagradafamilia

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world
La Sagrada Família was designed by Antoni Gaudí. It is under construction more than 100 years and is expected to be finished in 2026. The design is magnificent with the rainbow color from the sainted-glass windows. I would love to return when it is finally completed. #cherryblossom2024 #cathedral #sagradafamilia #lasagradafamilia #barcelona #spain #europe #gaudi #architecture #architect #spanisharchitect #vacation #holiday #springholiday #springtime
