Sagrada Familia

The Nativity entrance of the Sagrada Familia. Closer view of the entrance. The amount of detail is amazing. Another view of the city on the way up.

A view on the way up. One of the towers. I took this picture because of the shadow cast by the building.

Construction in the foreground, Montjuïc in the background. This crane is right in the center, where the tallest tower will eventually be built. Looking down the inside of one of the towers.

Looking out one of the small windows in the tower toward the main construction area. Looking toward the north along Avenue Guell. A view of Barcelona.

On our way down the narrow spiral staircase. Looking up the inside of one of the towers. This apartment block will eventually be demolished to make room for a park in front of the main entrance.

Construction and two of the towers. Another shot looking up one of the towers. Looking down toward the base.

The street scene in front of the Nativity entrance. This tight spiral staircase took us back to the ground level. The sun behind part of the building.

The sun shining through round windows behind us. The windows on the left have frosted glass, but the ones on the right have no glass yet. This showsthat the building is still very much in progress. The ceiling ornament in the background had not yet been carved.

Inside what will become the main entrance. The columns are intended to resemble trees. Outside the Passion entrance. In contrast to the Nativity entrance, the style here is very angular. Looking up at a small tower from the Passion entrance.
