Europe day-1 Barcelona, SpainAfter arrival at the Barcelona International Airport, it was an easy taxi ride to the hotel.
Las Ramblas La Sagrada Familia Barcelona's most well-known landmark is the Sagrada Familia. It is an unfinished church built by Antoni Gaudi. The front façade depicts the scene of Jesus’s birth with Joseph and Mary. This side of the church was made by Gaudi. This part is clearly Gothic style. The back of the church façade is modern style and depicts the death of Jesus. The modern side is done by followers after Gaudi. The sides and interior of the church is still under construction. There are small portions that have finished and has elaborate gilded ceilings and stained glass windows. I think the admission is over priced because there is not much to see inside. The museum under it has interesting displays on how the church was built. There are scaled models and tools on display here.
