The spectacular design of Gaudí, with its sinuous forms taken from nature and very ornate aesthetics, is perhaps the greatest exponent of modern architecture.

This design will force you to spend a lot of time contemplating the many artistic details of its exterior.

Specifically, what will catch your attention the most are its Nativity facades and Passion, the first of which was completed by the Catalan architect himself.

I have never seen anything like the original. Gaudi design and the majesty of it.

The building is still under construction, and currently the main façade is being addressed, the the glory, as well as the main towers, the tallest of which will have a height of 172 meters.

The date of its completion is difficult to predict, but at least the work already indicates that not too many years will pass.
