Sagrada Familia



The Sagrada Familia is a very important cultural icon for Barcelona. It represents religion and architecture that Barcelona is proud of. It is one of the first things people talk about when Barcelona is mentioned. In my opinion, it is the greatest piece of art work in the entire city, and it isn't even finished yet.


It was designed by Barcelona's greatest and most popular Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi, and is a masterpiece that attracts millions of tourists year round. It has become a symbol of Barcelona and therefore vital to its culture. Over a century of construction has taken place, and it is still incomplete. Gaudi devoted the last years of his life to the project, and died suddenly during the construction.
