We went on a hardhat tour of Sagrada Famillia last Monday and it was insane!!!! We got to go in construction elevators up to the top of the construction, which had an amazing view of the city. And to top it all off, we got a private tour from the current architect whose father worked with Gaudi himself. Guadi's design is crazy, how one man could think of up all of it is unreal. He designed and engineered his buildings. From the pictures you can see that the detail is extreme and you should be jealous because it was an experience of a lifetime!!!!!
This isn't my photo, but it's a great view of the passion facade
We were so happy to get hardhats!
By the school in the front of the building
The nave in the interior of the church. The whole structure uses parabolic forms for design and engineering reasons.
The construction elevators that took us up to the top
The architect explaining the church to us, we were standing where the center spire will be. There is going to be a total of 18 spires and only 8 are built now. The center one will represent Jesus and stand 190 meters tall!
Parabolic Forms
The culminating view
On our way back down, I got another shot of the nave. You can see the space is huge!!!!
One more shot of the spires from the top
