    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!

    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.

      +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.

      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.

      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.

    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 ^^

      @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.

    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.

    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."
