I had the oportunity to visit Barcelona and see this building a few weeks ago and I took amazing pictures to share with my architect son….this building is absolutely stuning in every word! Mucho love from USA
I visited the Sagrada Familia the first time I left the USA and went on a European vacation, I was in college. I was in awe a truly a work of art. My teenage daughter will be going to European (high school trip) in March 2015. She is looking forward to La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. We are making plans, as a family, to visit the Basilica when it is completed in 2026. Some people do not like the Sagrada Familia …. well…many people did not liked the Eifel Tower when it was in construction. Salutation from California, USA!
SO DO I, I can't seem to see enough of it. There is one video I have not been able to find again: the cathedral is filled with choirs from all over the world and several directors in various places, including balconies, are directing with the aid of cameras and screens to all the choirs stay together. If you read this and find THAT Video, please post it to proorgo53@aol.com Thank You!
I visited the Sagrada Familia two weeks ago for the first time. I have to admit it is the most spectacular masterpiece I have ever seen. Standing facing the Nativity facade I was totally blown away by the incredulous beauty, I was transfixed by what I was looking at as was my daughter. When you walk around the circumference you realise just how enormous the structure is, truly an incredible achievement by so many masters of architecture and building. It was a tragedy that the master Gaudi lost his life under the wheels of a tram, to not be able to work longer on his masterpiece. Unfortunately we were unable to view the interior due to time constraints but will be returning without a doubt. Not to be missed.
Well yes but that is only becouse this one is being build in contemporary time, with all the knowleage, equipment and Technology advances of this era. If someone attempted to build this in medieval times it will definitely take hundreds of years more, as it may as well be the most complex structure of them all
@@citerea it has the same constraints as they did with most large projects throughout history. Money. All the stone intricate masonry still has to be done by skilled craftsmen. Who have the same skills as they did several 100 years ago.
When I stood outside this place and then went inside it, I was just stunned as to how the human mind can conceive something as extraordinary as this. If you go there, you can also see the school building he built for the children of the workers. Even that school house is quite a conception.
Extraordinary masterpiece. . . Gaudi, the Catalonian architectural genius, moved by devotion to his Lord. It is a modern masterpiece that I will hope will inspire people to see and look at life beyond themselves, and, aspire, perhaps for something greater than themselves.
The architecture is gorgeous, I admire the patience in building this church. I'm an atheist as well but I'd be lying if I said some of the most gorgeous structures in the world were those from religious roots.
I believe this amazing church, and the Hagia Sofia in Constantinople(Istanbul) are architectural masterpieces in of themselves. Not just to the Christian faith, but of all mankind.
Hagia Sophia is a mosque now, and by the way things are headed Notre Dame, Cologne cathedral, St. Peter's Basillica, St Paul's Cathedral will be mosques too. There are so many people in Pakistan, Bangladesh, even some in India, the Maghreb, Sahel, Middleeast eyeing at Europe, the expansion of Ottoman Empire or Ummayad chaliphate merely paused not stopped. The dreams live on.
It is so bad to realize that a war could destroy in a few seconds a 200 years labour. Anarchist attack in the Spanish civil war is an example, and more when it will represent the most important christian building.
It's more than a "Christian building" I feel. Hopefully, all religions could come together as one there. Realize we all come from the same God and not fight. He wouldn't want that. This is more than a church, this is a symbol, a statement. Hopefully, anyone with enough power to destroy it would have the tenth of a brain it takes to not destroy such a masterpiece.
+REX IGAR Just an FYI, Orwell fought in the Spanish Civil War and mentioned that the Sagrada Familia was spared due to its "artistic value." He did quip though: "I think the Anarchists showed bad taste in not blowing it up when they had the chance, though they did hang a red and black banner between its spires." Orwell - Homage to Catalonia. I think Orwell was being a bit tongue-in-cheek. Thankfully the Sagrada Familia still stands today for all to appreciate.
+Manny Perez In fact they did. In every town of Spain the churhces or the sacred statues they contained, which were centuries old, were burnt. And also all sacred instruments like glasses, cups, monstrances, relics... were sold to the soviets for weapons.
I was able to travel to Spain last year and visited this place. On the bus ride, I had no idea that our tour would take us to the church (I was too excited to read the pamphlet in detail, lol). I remember riding on the bus and saw it from many blocks over, and the moment my eyes lay upon it, I gasped. It literally took my breath away. When the guide told us we would be visiting, I became so excited. When we came to the front doors, I wanted to capture everything in that moment, with my eyes and my camera. It really would take days just to go through everything on the facade, and upon entering, it is gorgeous. So large, sacred, and beautiful. Though it has a very architectural-like feel, it seemed both very grounded and earthy, yet celestial. The stained glass windows all have a meaning in the way their color scheme is set up as well, and the sunlight shining through them causes them to come alive. This creation is astounding for so many reasons, and I feel that anyone who visits, regardless of faith/creed, would find it amazing. It is a work of art, and the artist's passion definitely lives in this space. It is a beauty.
Gaudi would have wanted this church to reflect some of the Glory of God, our Father. We must give thanks to the LORD for they way he inspires good men and women.
That could have been used to help the poor and needy, because the God of everything, needs yet another overpriced building to spread his glory! Hallelujia. Tell me which dead royal will be housed here?
@@piemoon2488 I mean copying is cheaper. Creativity requires thought and resources. Besides, making beautiful buildings doesn't mean the poor and sick are being ignored.
There is no room in the world for people (the anarchists who destroyed Gaudi's work during the Spanish Civil War) who would destroy a work like this. Agree to disagree - kill each other, low is what they are but do not destroy works of art like this!
Robin Mead No estic gens d'acord. Gran part de la destrucció de grans monuments artístics com el Teatre Victoria i d'altres ,anifestacions artístiques i culturals catalanes vam ser destruìde pel bàndol franquista.
The church was hardly built so it wasn't anything like the work of art you see today, they had been opressed for years by god capital and state. Its easy to see why they destroyed these symbols of opression, the money was going to building the building not feeding the workers or protecting them against Franco. It was a revolution and a civil war not an act of terrorism or small window smashing
Incredible. Amazing. Gorgeous. I can't wait to visit this work of a building one day. Truly remarkable what everyone involved in this project has accomplished.
i am amazed and deeply feel excitement what human achieves by having believes on God. we must be thankful for those who spend their life to make strong this "believes". as a Muslim i love christians when they said they believe on GOD. creativity is such a amazing gift by God. peace for the world for the mankind. Love for Spain from Pakistan. and yeas like the singing of that boy. can any one tells his name please
Antoni Gaudí wasn't spanish as he didn't speak spanish but catalan. Sagrada familia was "his gift and a symbol of the universal values of a future and modern Catalonia" in his own words and he observed the architecture from around the world and from nature to create such a mixture of techniques. But he never considered himself as spanish as Spain was a dictatorship for centuries. Spanish dictatorships even tryed to censor and eliminate his political thoughts from history even modifying some of his sculptures and hiding all cataln flags designed by Gaudí in his buildings. The fact is that the favourite architecture of Gaudí was mudéjar and muslim architecture, more than gothic.

While watching this I'm drawn to the question of what could have motivated them to survived this long. So many different reasons I'm sure but I believe this has divine intervention. God bless all the people who are involved in the process of taking action to make it a reality. One day I'll visit this magnificent churches including this one of course ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
This is the first time I've seen inside the Sagrada Familia, although I've seen many external photos in the past, the inside is astounding from a visionary, engineering and structural aspect. The like has never before or since been attempted. Gaudi was a visionary way beyond his time and for Spain to faithfully follow his vision says much for the respect they hold for him.
The Sagrada Familia is one of those places that no matter how many times you have seen it in photos or videos, once you see it in person you can't help it but to gasp at how magnificent it really is.
Why are there so many "art critics" trolling here if you dislike the content? Aren't there some kittens playing the piano or something less complicated you can watch instead that your simple minds can comprehend?
@TheClassicalSymphony Most Cathedrals are awe inspiring. Notre Dame. St Peter. Toledo cathedral is outstanding, Spain has many such. Barcelona has its Cathedral and others, Gaudí is just another world altogether.
we went all over europe and l can truly say no other building modern or ancient comes close to this. A person cannot die without witnessing this divine inspiration
A True labour of love and faith. The dedication of those from all around the world is nothing short of a miracle. May this place inspire MAN to seek God and have a personal relationship with Jesus, Our Savior.
GOD SPAIN LOVERS OF GOD.. GLORIOUS TO VIEW OUR MOST AMAZING ROMAN CATHOLICISM. IT'S NOT SURPRISING WHAT YOU'VE ACHIEVED FOR ANYTHING DEDICATED TO OUR GOD...NOTHING ON EARTH IS COMARABLE. THANK YOU GOUDI FOR SAGRADA FAMILIA...SIGNIFIES THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON EARTH & GUIDING ARCHITURE TO GOD!!! AMEN TO THAT!!!

Just fantastic! One mind to conceive all of this is unbelievable! You have to see it to believe it. Get your tickets online otherwise you might miss out!
Monument breathtaking! I never seen such a pharaonic monument and refined ^^ When seen in real life, this is yet another dimension to a picture or video like that! When one is at the foot of the monument, it is really amazing !!! I am really surprised to see embittered people who find that ugly gigantic temple, It is such a refined and elegant architecture! If you find this masterpiece of ugly, you do not like much things ^^ let's be honest or it is hypocrisy !!! Yet in my country, in France, there are many beautiful cathedrals, basilicas and recognized! Although beautiful, nothing amazed me as much as the Sagrada Familia ^^
As a christian i believe what Gaudi Do is a vision from God, that build something like this, we just pray that this church will finish soon, and many people will bless with this church, To more closer with God, im an christian an architect to. Hope have a vision like Gaudi, to build such an Honor place For God people.
The men/women who designed these beautiful structures were definatley Gods blessing to us. The thought time and detailed work in their thoughts are absolutely magically breathtaking and surreal. As if they lived in another world and time. I love this so much!
Just had to chime in out of respect for such an incredible work in progress. No effort could have endured or could have produced such beauty than an act in honor of God. I have my reason to visit Spain.
@Paul Marshall, what he is trying to say... Gaudi in his latter years always sleeping in that church and when Spanish people see him on the construction site nobody say hi or hello to him. That's his point.
You are right.. This video was 10 years ago when architect Mark Burry said that it will need another 10 more years.. It's amazing this masterpiece a one-of-a-kind cathedral will be finished in my lifetime.. Architect Antoni Gaudi was indeed a century ahead compared to the other architects during his lifetime..
Each soul did as he or, she saw fit, to express his or her love, for The GOD of the universe. What this beautiful soul has done, is so imtense, breathtakingly stunning, mouth agaping, nothing more to be said but, raise hands and glorify GOD, who gave him the cunning craftsmanship, that after 150years, people are still following his guidelines! I do my courtesies to such an incredible mind. Thank you ancestor Antoni, for thinking of us all in your work.
@moo I see your point, and I agree with some of them because even though I'm no expert in any way, i makes sense. I just have a common knowledge about it which is probably based on a lot of misconceptions I can admit. All I'm trying to say that for somehing to be an 8th wonder of the world you would have to invent a new element and build something no one ever did before with it or something. This language is killing me, today everything is awesome, and everyone is a genius, and everything is hilarious and amazing. We always go for the top shelf of the word to describe something fairly amusing with hilarious for example. Thats all I have to say about that.
I saw it a year ago. It’s an amazing structure, principally because the vaulting is like no other. It is wholly original. Each tower represents an individual, but I’ve forgotten how it goes.
Amen..if only the officials wanted to do something about the pickpockets and the bad people in the police department-the situation could not be this obvious and broad,if there was not some kind of the blessing from the higher ranks.
Como español, y viviendo en Barcelona, me aterra ver tanta gente boquiabierta mirando las obras de la Sagrada Familia. Me encanta el arte, sobretodo la arquitectura, el modernismo catalán es maravilloso y Gaudí fue impresionante por su innovación, pero, sólo le dio tiempo a levantar una de las fachadas, y qué fachada, impresionante se mire por donde se mire pero, como todo el mundo sabe, se quemaron los planos y el proyecto quedó huérfano de guía arquitectónica. Con el tiempo, para sufragar las costosas obras, se hacían cuestaciones anuales y al ritmo que iban todo hacía presagiar que duraría más que la catedral de Milán. En algún momento, algún ser maquiavélico (no quiero saber quien o quienes) decidió o decidieron, acabar las obras lo antes posible no importa cómo. El hormigón llovió a raudales en pilares, muros y torres; al principio se ocultaban a las vistas de la gente, en tanto en cuanto se forraban de piedras, pero, con el tiempo ya no importó que se viesen, era de dominio público y, en el frenético trabajo de acabar, sea como sea, (esta es una visión particular del que suscribe) se realizaron imágenes ultramodernas inspirada en la Stars Wars, como Dark Vader y, la no menos aberrante, fachada principal, un impresionante muro de hormigón inspirado, creo, en la presa Hoover del Rio Colorado. Siento vergüenza, como barcelonés, cómo engatusan a los turistas, pido perdón por la parte que me toca. Que se admire la Fachada del Nacimiento es normal !!!pero el resto¡¡¡ me apena.
CHURCH of GOD!! PRAISE GOD FOREVER IN HUMANITY...GIVING WISDOM & BRILLIANCE THAT NO ONE EVER DOES. THANK YOU LORD FOR GOUDI ATTRIBUTING YOUR LOVE TO HUMANITY.
Some people criticise this building as being inappropriate in some way but I sincerely believe that Senor Gaudi intended it to be his gift to Almighty God. The true gift will depend how it is used when it is completed ie love of mankind by mankind. "All things come from God and His own do we give Him" Blessings and peace be with you all
Actually, according to George Orwell, in his memoirs about the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia, the Sagrada Familia was (fortunately) spared during the spanish revolution because of its 'artistic value,'. But the Anarchists "did hang a red and black banner between its spires."
I like how the story of his death really solidifies "thine is the _____ and the _____ and the *glory* "-St. Matthew Ch 7 , because he is certainly being gloried here and for good reason.
Why isn’t such a beautiful building available in 720p or better quality? You can barely see any of the details in 360p. It’s such a shame that 60 minutes won’t upload HD Quality video.
It's fascinating and architecturally it is innovative. It is a testament to the him an spirit. It is deserving of all these accolades. It is the work of a genius. I admire that genius. I see Its intellectual beauty. It is not my aesthetic.
May God bless all those who have worked to bring to life this masterpiece.
God Bless Brother
I had the oportunity to visit Barcelona and see this building a few weeks ago and I took amazing pictures to share with my architect son….this building is absolutely stuning in every word! Mucho love from USA
Can you please send me " Sagrada Familia's exterior n interior pictures? I need these pictures for my thesis.. Detailed images
Wow such an amazing work of art. You do not have to be Christian to fully appreciate this wonderful structure. His work is simply perfect.
It is the most beautiful basilica you will ever see! The inside took my breath away and I felt tears streaming down my face.

When I entered the Sagrada Familia I fell to my knees…and felt very small and humble.
I felt the same way, when I walked inside 15 years ago. God willing, I will be there in 2016 to see it complete. Salutations.

Gorgeous!!!! Adding to my bucket list of places I must visit. BUT I will wait till it is fully completed in a few years :)!
Great Video! I'm going to Barcelona in May, so excited to this masterpiece!
we went all over europe and l can truly say no other building modern or ancient comes close to this. A person cannot die without witnessing this divine inspiration
I was there in March 2017 what a beautiful building!! Lost as beautiful as Lara Logan.
reference12 ..people who use youtube need to calm down and learn to spell check.
A True labour of love and faith. The dedication of those from all around the world is nothing short of a miracle. May this place inspire MAN to seek God and have a personal relationship with Jesus, Our Savior.
Amen. ➕
God's architecture created Lara Logan's magnificent self

Negras tormentas agitan los aires
nubes oscuras nos impiden ver.
Aunque nos espere el dolor y la muerte
contra el enemigo nos llama el deber.
El bien más preciado es la libertad
hay que defenderla con fe y valor.
Alza la bandera revolucionaria
que del triunfo sin cesar nos lleva en pos.

GREAT NEW ZEALANDER - MARK FOR FÒR BEING IN SPAIN HELPING SAGRADA FAMILIA!! PRAISE GOD FOREVER!!
Just fantastic! One mind to conceive all of this is unbelievable! You have to see it to believe it. Get your tickets online otherwise you might miss out!
Monument breathtaking!
I never seen such a pharaonic monument and refined ^^
When seen in real life, this is yet another dimension to a picture or video like that!
When one is at the foot of the monument, it is really amazing !!!
I am really surprised to see embittered people who find that ugly gigantic temple,
It is such a refined and elegant architecture!
If you find this masterpiece of ugly, you do not like much things ^^ let's be honest or it is hypocrisy !!!
Yet in my country, in France, there are many beautiful cathedrals, basilicas and recognized!
Although beautiful, nothing amazed me as much as the Sagrada Familia ^^
people who disregard things like this just have no spiritual life. The saddest life if you ask me. And l'm not referring to it in any religious way
F for France
As a christian i believe what Gaudi Do is a vision from God, that build something like this, we just pray that this church will finish soon, and many people will bless with this church, To more closer with God, im an christian an architect to. Hope have a vision like Gaudi, to build such an Honor place For God people.
The men/women who designed these beautiful structures were definatley Gods blessing to us. The thought time and detailed work in their thoughts are absolutely magically breathtaking and surreal. As if they lived in another world and time. I love this so much!
Just had to chime in out of respect for such an incredible work in progress. No effort could have endured or could have produced such beauty than an act in honor of God. I have my reason to visit Spain.
This building is amazing. Fit for GOD. Lara is striking, WOW. The Japanese sculputerer has an amazing job. Someday I will visit this Church.
Very great piece on the Sagrada Familia. Very accurate and informative information.
Thank you.
God inspires Beauty, Love, Truth. The evil that men do, even in the name of God, does not come from God.
You clearly have not read your own book.
You are so correct. This building has nothing to do with God. Maybe Satan…. But not God.
It's like walking in a forest of stone with the sun peaking through the canopy. Gorgeous vision!
Gaudi ended his latter years sleeping on site.. People crossed the road when they saw him but when he died half of Spain turned out for his funeral.
Shame he crossed the road!! He was run over by a tram!!
@Paul Marshall, what he is trying to say... Gaudi in his latter years always sleeping in that church and when Spanish people see him on the construction site nobody say hi or hello to him. That's his point.
We all knew that Gaudi was hit by a tram.
I am almost weeping. Antoni Gaudi was indeed God's Architect. And The Sagrada Familia Basilica is THE greatest structure ever designed and built.
I will visit this church ⛪in its full glory. Strive to be there in 2026 if god permits!!!!!!!!!
You are right.. This video was 10 years ago when architect Mark Burry said that it will need another 10 more years.. It's amazing this masterpiece a one-of-a-kind cathedral will be finished in my lifetime..
Architect Antoni Gaudi was indeed a century ahead compared to the other architects during his lifetime..
Each soul did as he or, she saw fit, to express his or her love, for The GOD of the universe.
What this beautiful soul has done, is so imtense, breathtakingly stunning, mouth agaping, nothing more to be said but, raise hands and glorify GOD, who gave him the cunning craftsmanship, that after 150years, people are still following his guidelines!
I do my courtesies to such an incredible mind.
Thank you ancestor Antoni, for thinking of us all in your work.
The 8th wonder of the world!
Not even close!
It is very beautifull in every way though
@@mudza92 Why a christ stone figure deserves it?
@moo I see your point, and I agree with some of them because even though I'm no expert in any way, i makes sense. I just have a common knowledge about it which is probably based on a lot of misconceptions I can admit. All I'm trying to say that for somehing to be an 8th wonder of the world you would have to invent a new element and build something no one ever did before with it or something. This language is killing me, today everything is awesome, and everyone is a genius, and everything is hilarious and amazing. We always go for the top shelf of the word to describe something fairly amusing with hilarious for example. Thats all I have to say about that.
Nah, that's andre the giant
Raúl Barrientos you have an animé profile pic so your opinion doesn't matter
I saw it a year ago. It’s an amazing structure, principally because the vaulting is like no other. It is wholly original. Each tower represents an individual, but I’ve forgotten how it goes.
GH1618 The twelve disciples, Mary and the tallest for Jesus
18 in all I think ... 4 for the 4 evangelists as well
It is the most beuatiful piece of art i have yet seen with my own eyes and it is the most beautiful piece of art i will have ever seen in my lifetime
It's really amazing! I can't imagine anything more beautiful.
Barcelona is a beautiful city.....there is nothing like in the whole American continent
Amen..if only the officials wanted to do something about the pickpockets and the bad people in the police department-the situation could not be this obvious and broad,if there was not some kind of the blessing from the higher ranks.
Quebec city?
there are nice mountains though
Mexico city? Monterey? Guadalajara?
Montreal, Montevideo,Quebec city, bueno Aries, Boston to name a few.
Thanks sir Gaudi.
God bless.
The architecture is superb, the Catholic Church should pay for the work to be done !
The stained glass windows are beautiful
Man, not religious by any stretch bit I love the design of the building and spiritual significance of it.
Magnificent and inspiring!!!
Como español, y viviendo en Barcelona, me aterra ver tanta gente boquiabierta mirando las obras de la Sagrada Familia. Me encanta el arte, sobretodo la arquitectura, el modernismo catalán es maravilloso y Gaudí fue impresionante por su innovación, pero, sólo le dio tiempo a levantar una de las fachadas, y qué fachada, impresionante se mire por donde se mire pero, como todo el mundo sabe, se quemaron los planos y el proyecto quedó huérfano de guía arquitectónica. Con el tiempo, para sufragar las costosas obras, se hacían cuestaciones anuales y al ritmo que iban todo hacía presagiar que duraría más que la catedral de Milán.
En algún momento, algún ser maquiavélico (no quiero saber quien o quienes) decidió o decidieron, acabar las obras lo antes posible no importa cómo. El hormigón llovió a raudales en pilares, muros y torres; al principio se ocultaban a las vistas de la gente, en tanto en cuanto se forraban de piedras, pero, con el tiempo ya no importó que se viesen, era de dominio público y, en el frenético trabajo de acabar, sea como sea, (esta es una visión particular del que suscribe) se realizaron imágenes ultramodernas inspirada en la Stars Wars, como Dark Vader y, la no menos aberrante, fachada principal, un impresionante muro de hormigón inspirado, creo, en la presa Hoover del Rio Colorado.
Siento vergüenza, como barcelonés, cómo engatusan a los turistas, pido perdón por la parte que me toca. Que se admire la Fachada del Nacimiento es normal !!!pero el resto¡¡¡ me apena.
Great work
Spectacular.
This is the pinnacle of art. Absolutely sublime.
Lovely vision and work. hope they get all the money to finish the project.
They charge $$$$ to get in and thousands a day go in.
So the Sagrada Família will be complete on the 100th year anniversary after the death of Antoni Gaudí in 1926 which is expected to be finish in 2026
CHURCH of GOD!! PRAISE GOD FOREVER IN HUMANITY...GIVING WISDOM & BRILLIANCE THAT NO ONE EVER DOES. THANK YOU LORD FOR GOUDI ATTRIBUTING YOUR LOVE TO HUMANITY.
Some people criticise this building as being inappropriate in some way but I sincerely believe that Senor Gaudi intended it to be his gift to Almighty God. The true gift will depend how it is used when it is completed ie love of mankind by mankind.
"All things come from God and His own do we give Him" Blessings and peace be with you all
Actually, according to George Orwell, in his memoirs about the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia, the Sagrada Familia was (fortunately) spared during the spanish revolution because of its 'artistic value,'. But the Anarchists "did hang a red and black banner between its spires."
This is the most beautiful and the most spectacular building in the world.
Very lucky people working on this project. Wish to be one.
Ad majorem Dei gloriam !
With Gods blessings, Gaudi is sending the right people to finish the job.
A wonder of the world in the making.
Place to prostrate myself 40 days and 40 nights and close my eyes forever 😊
I like how the story of his death really solidifies "thine is the _____ and the _____ and the *glory* "-St. Matthew Ch 7 , because he is certainly being gloried here and for good reason.
Wow! This is an amazing building! I just...wow!
I am out of words, is so beautiful.
Looking at the entrance of the Cathedral is amazing in person, and so is the view from inside the top towers
Why isn’t such a beautiful building available in 720p or better quality?
You can barely see any of the details in 360p.
It’s such a shame that 60 minutes won’t upload HD Quality video.
This video was uploaded in 2013
ARAH ruclips.net/video/U3NJC18Oi04/видео.html this video was recorded in 1967 and uploaded and 2010. Yet it still is available in 1080p.
Thank you BENNETT & YOUR DAUGHTER FOR building on SAGRADA FAMILIA...GLOROIUS CHURCH NOTHING LIKE IT!!
Damn i love our continent.
Amazing!
This is really a world heritage site with all the engineers building it from around the world
El sueño de un hombre y el esfuerzo de un mundo entero construyen el humilde hogar de nuestra Sagrada Familia. sean todos bien venebidos.
Amazing, glorious, beatifull towers. And the building's ok too
Very good history of the church.
God bless you
Do they have any idea what the final cost total will be?
Will be the greatest church ever someday
It's fascinating and architecturally it is innovative. It is a testament to the him an spirit. It is deserving of all these accolades. It is the work of a genius. I admire that genius. I see Its intellectual beauty. It is not my aesthetic.
I read about it from dan brown's nobel( origin), what an amazing building!
