Sagrada Familia Gaudí's most important work

Carrer de Mallorca 401 Barcelona, Barcelona 08013 +34 (0)93 207 3031 http://www.sagradafamilia.org

Gaudí began this utterly surreal temple in 1882 and it still has not been completed. It was originally intended to be a modest, neo-Gothic church, but it has become the most famous building in Barcelona. Gaudí broke away from the reigning neo-Gothic style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and imbued every element of the Sagrada Família with symbolic meaning. Turtles form the base of columns (the Chinese symbol of order within chaos) and the capitals are palm trees. The most outstanding feature of this building is its baroque style, plus the mixture of colors and the diversity of materials used (plaster, ceramics, mosaic, iron and many types of stone).
