Expiatory Church of the Holy Family Museum, Barcelona

It is a very nice church from the outside. You have to wait for a very long to time to go in to the church, you have to pay 8,00 � entrence fee. I was very disapointed from the inside, I would not go inside again. I would rather save the 8 �

The Nativity Facade, the original work by Gaudi, is simply amazing. The beauty and complexity of it is staggering. The Passion Facade, newly completely, is much more modern and contemporary. It is also very moving. Do pay the extra EUR 2 to get up the elevator to the top of the tower, and get a view of the city. They are doing work to finish the museum. A large part of it is new, and you can see that some of the old cathedral actually was not well maintained, and there is a lot of graffiti on it. What a shame! I suggest buying a package ticket for an extra EUR 1 which gives you access to Gaudi's house inside Park Guell.

This place is so spectacular that I have to say that it is a "must seen" in Barcelona. It is still under construction now, but it is amazing already. Make sure you take the stairs (sorry, I don't recall how many steps, but a lot for sure) inside the tower. That is a good execrise with a good view.

We instantly fell in love with the artist/architect. The view from the top is a great overview of the city. It's a shame that it is still a work in progress. The city hasn't been feeding much money into the project. But, someday it will be complete. The symbolism that he inspired into this church is magnificent. The lineage of Christ it on the front door, the 8 of 12 (not completed yet) standing pillars for the 12 disciples, the nativity carved on one side of the building and the crucifixion on the other. Every detail has a purpose. Amazing~

This is an extremely intriging cathedral. This project has been ongoing for over 100 years. What I didn't quite understand is the fact the the newer construction architecture is so very different from its original architecture. Are we sure this is the same artist? Quite confused.

OK, the exterior is well worth the trip, but I regret paying to go inside to only see scaffolds and cranes! The Museum underneath isn�t worth visiting if you�ve been to La Pedrera or Casa Battlo,wich explain far better Gaudi�s vision. After paying your entrance, if you want to go to the top, you�ll pay an extra 2Euros.

The unfinished Sagrada Familia is the masterwork of Antonio Gaudi, whose colorful, fantastical architecture is visible all over Barcelona. The church is absolutely incredible inside, with huge stained glass windows and graceful columns that seem to stretch all the way up to heaven. It is impossible not to feel a sense of awe when you walk into this space. The outside of the building is also covered with interesting sculptures, the whole thing looks like a crazy sand castle. You can rent audio tours at the stand outside that will describe the various features of the building to you. Bring your camera!

its nice to take pictures from the outside, but inside theres not much for the kids.

the la sagrada familia was the best cathederal that i have ever seen. The work and dedicatioon that was put into it was excellent.

If you only have one day in Barcelona, this is the thing that you have to experience in this city. This cathedral is still under construction, but the cranes and scaffolding do not take anything away from this masterpiece. We had the most fun taking the elevator up to the top (It cost 2 euros when we went). Then we walked all the way back down--peeking our heads out of the open air windows to get great views of the city and the architectural details. I love this building.
