La Sagrada Familia is by far one of the most beautiful places I have visited. It was one of the first places I visited and was shocked to learn all the history behind it. We had a tour guide who gave as an in depth historical background of the building and Gaudi. I thought it was amazing that after a fire ruined all of Gaudi's plans they have been able to continue to reconstruct a close replica through the use of computer technology and remains. I would love to see the building when it is finished in about 20 years. My favorite part was the ceiling inside and the intricate depictions of the birth and death of christ on the two sides. It was clever to put the birth scene on the side the sun rises and death on where sun sets.
After we toured the inside and outside of the building we were able to go up to the top of the building. I am scared of heights so it was definitely a somewhat traumatizing experience that allows you to really understand how big La Sagrada Familia is, but also allows you to see a beautiful view of the city.
