GUIDED TOUR SAGRADA FAMILIA
La Sagrada Familia, master work by architect Antoni Gaudí, is one of Barcelona’s most emblematic architectural jewels and an indisputable symbol of the city. This basilica, which has been under construction since 1882, fuses the Gothic style and Catalan modernism in a unique and visionary way. The guided tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore every corner of this monumental building, understanding its rich history, its profound symbolism and the innovative architectural principles that Gaudí implemented.
During the tour, an expert guide will share fascinating stories about Gaudí’s life and work, highlighting how his Catholic faith and love for nature influenced the design of the Sagrada Familia. Visitors will learn about different architectural elements, from the tall towers that symbolize the apostles, to the exquisite facades —the Fachada del Nacimiento, which celebrates the life of Jesus, and the impactful Fachada de la Passion, which represents his crucifixion—. Every detail of the construction is imbued with religious significance, inviting reflection and admiration.
The visit also includes access to the impressive interior naves, where light filters through colorful stained glass windows, creating a mystical atmosphere. The game of lights and shadows, together with the organic forms of columns that resemble trees, provides a unique sensorial experience that transports visitors to a world of spirituality and creativity.
Furthermore, the guide will explain the current state of construction, which continues with the goal of completing the basilica in 2026, the centenary of Gaudí’s death. Knowing the modern techniques used in construction and the importance of public participation in financing the work adds a layer of contemporary relevance to the visit.
This trip is an invitation to immerse yourself in the grandeur of the Sagrada Familia, enjoying its beauty and understanding the country that surrounds it. Without a doubt, an experience that on the ground enriches the general culture of visitors, but that also connects them with the history and spirituality that emanates from this emblematic monument.
