I've been to a lot of churches. Some for Mass, some just for tourism. La Sagrada Familia is probably the coolest of them all.
Designed by Gaudi, the church has been 'under construction' since 1882.
Why so long? Gaudi had remarked that his 'client was not in a hurry'. His client is God and has all the time in the world.
At the end of it all, there will be 18 tall spires. They will represent the 12 Apostles, 4 Evangelists, the Virgin Mary, and high above them all, Jesus Christ.
One side is called the Nativity.
Another is the Passion.
It's gorgeous from any angle.
