Sagrada Familia
Carrer Provenca, 450, 08025 Barcelona, Spain
Description:
The Sagrada Familia is the embodiment of the famous project of Antonio Gaudí. The temple was built and is still being built on donations from local residents. This is the most famous long-term construction in the world. In 2010, the church was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI, so the church is currently functioning.
The temple is built in the form of a Latin cross. The apse consists of seven chapels and a gallery behind the choir. The walls of the temple are decorated with biblical stories. The temple is large and spacious - it has a lot of light and air.
According to Gaudí, the three facades of the building should be crowned by four towers. A total of 12 towers were created, each of which symbolizes the 12 apostles.
