Sagrada Familia

The reputation of La Sagrada Familia definately proceeds itself. Approaching it from the newer end, without knowing, I was a little dissapointed but, as I rounded the corner and was faced with the gothic beauty whose construction was overseen by Gaudi himself, I was filled with everything I knew I would be.

As we entered the church we encountered workmen, welding and sanding. With no expectations of the churches interior I didn't mind the construction site. I rather felt it was fitting of Gaudis organic design, for the church to be ever growing and evolving.

Inside we found work men, stained glass, spiral staircases 50 metres high, a work space, a spot where the old and new sandstone met aswell as the most breath taking ceiling I've ever seen.
