Templo de la Sagrada Familia

403, c de Mallorca / 253, c de la Marina / 450, c de Provença, Barcelona in 1883-1926 by GAUDI i CORNET & RUBIO i BELLVER & SUGRANYES i GRAS

Gaudi died before he could finish this cathedral. It is still under construction nowdays and money is often missing to continue. There is a big controversal around this construction: "How Gaudi would have finish to built it?". Gaudi left some plans but Gaudi never followed his plans till the end. At the moment, only the two façades of the transept (with eight towers) and the façade of the chor are finished. No roof, no nave (5 were planed). The first facade is dedicated to Christ's birth "nativity" (image #2, 3 and 4). On image #4, you can recognize Mary, Josef and Jesus. The second is dedicated to Christ's death (image #1). The first one is sculpted in a very fluid way, commestible way would have say Dali. The second is expressionnist. Both follow the whole (hi)story with several scenes. Into the crypt, there is a museum about Gaudi and the construction of the Sagrada Familia (models, plans, sketches...)
