Sagrada Família
Sagrada Família: Behind the scaffolding | Carme Escales Jiménez
2 posts | 1 read
The Sagrada Familia is Barcelona?s most-visited monument. Every year, over three million people walk within it. They are the anonymous patrons of the Basilica, whomake the work of some one hundred professionals possible, architects, building contractors, carpenters, stonemasons, model makers, sculptors, blacksmiths, for whom the Basilica is their also a place of work. Sagrada Familia. Behind the scaffolding gives a voice to these workers who carry out their day of work surrounded by tourists, parishioners, architecture students or mere admirers of the most famous work of Antoni Gaudí. It is hoped that the current momentum should be maintained until the end of 2026, date at which the construction will be completed, coinciding with the centenary of the passing of its creator.

Just back from our trip to Barcelona, and I couldn't resist posting these pictures of Sagrada Familia. Unfortunately, they don't do the place justice. The sheer scale of it, the light filtering through those beautiful stained glass windows, the architectural details that make it feel like some organic thing that sprang from the ground...it's truly breathtaking.

Dilara Beautiful! Clearly, the tourists are back in Barcelona😠2y
The_Penniless_Author @Dilara Yes and no. There seemed to be plenty of people to me, but according to the locals what we were seeing was relatively dead. That's one of the reasons we gambled on visiting there now, the chance to see the city when it isn't overrun (not to mention how cheap it was to rent an apartment). 2y
