But, did you know that according to the final project of Gaudí they will be built until 18 towers, of which the six plants that have not yet been built will be the tallest?
The tallest will be the transept tower, which will reach 172,5 meters.
Nativity Facade
The first façade that was completed in the Sagrada Familia is the Nacimiento, which gives to the Marina Street and is the maximum expression of the architectural forms that Gaudí marked for this great monument.
This façade is configured with three porticos dedicated to charity, hope and faith.
Passion Facade
La Passion Facade, which began to be built in 1956, is where you will now enter your visit to the Sagrada Familia.
Like that of Nacimiento, Passion Facade It is configured with three large portals and shows a much less ornate architectural style than that one.
Sculptures on the Passion Facade
The last construction process of the Passion Facade has been the incorporation of large sculptural figures like the one you can see in this image.
These sculptures are the work of Josep María Subirach made with a simple and schematic style, which is in line with the general design of the façade designed by Gaudí, much more austere than the ornate Nativity façade.
Gospel Gate
Like the three covers of the Nativity Facade They are closed with imposing doors, in the Passion Facade The same thing happens, with three enormous doors made by Subirach.
La Gospel Gate It is the one that with two wings closes the central doorway of this façade that faces the Sandenya street.
If the image exterior of the Sagrada Familia Gaudí It seems majestic to you, where you will really be impressed is when you access its interior and see its incredible height and spectacular design.
Gaudí Initially he planned to build the cathedral following the inspiration of the Gothic style, but the final result is a very personal style.
The interior shows a forest of arborescent columns where light plays a primary function.
Baldachin of the Sagrada Familia
One of the most spectacular corners of the interior of the Sagrada Familia is the Baldachin of the Central Altar.
Its design shows a representation of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
El interior of the Sagrada Familia It is arranged in the shape of a Latin cross, with five naves 90 meters long, and with a height in the side naves of 30 meters.
On these sides, the very colorful stained glass windows stand out, which on the west façade acquire great luminosity when dusk arrives.
The design of the vault of the central nave of the Sagrada Familia is spectacular, which reaches a height of 45 meters.
The vaults are designed with hyperboloid shapes.
Columns of the Sagrada Familia
The image of Sagrada Familia cruise It is one of the best exponents of spectacular interior design, with the large forest of 36 columns and the special shapes of the vaults.
Transept of the Holy Family
El transept that joins the façades of the Birth and the Passion shows the great interior height of the Sagrada Familia.
I am sure I will return to Barcelona to specifically visit, pray there in the basilica, see and know the details better. - That is to say, I will see in all its magnitude the currently unfinished work of the great Gaudí, artist of artists who comes from that magical city in the one I have lived. My Mother in Heaven, to whom I entrust myself, will allow it.-
