LANDMARKS SAGRADA FAMILIA+JOAN LLUCIÀ



La Sagrada Familia is one of Gaudi's most famous works in Barcelona.
It's a giant temple that has been under construction since 1882 and which is still not completed.

Today new construction materials are being used which, some feel,Gaudi himself would not have used.

After Gaudí's death in 1926( he was overrun by a tram), construction slowed dramatically due to a lack of money and the civil war.

Even though the Sagrada Familia isn' t finished, the church is well worth a visit.You can visit the crypt were Gaudí is buried. A museum tells the story of this great architect and the history of the church.

The Church will have three grand façades: the Nativity façade to the East,the Glory façade to the South and the Passion façade to the West.
