Ah, Barcelona ... A city of romance and love. Having visited Spain once, I want to return here again and again. Gracious atmosphere, beautiful buildings, magnificent landscapes - all this will make rest there unforgettable. And of course, how to visit Spain without seeing its main attraction?
The most popular building here - the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. The cathedral has been under construction for more than 100 years for donations, which is constantly slowing down the process. The author of this great creation was the famous architect Antonio Gaudi as early as 1882. According to the project, 18 towers were conceived, but during the lifetime of the master only a small part of it was completed. After his death in 1926, the case was continued by followers, but the materials of the former architect did not survive. The new masters had only to guess what the famous Gaudi wanted to turn the Temple of the Holy Family into Barcelona. But built during the lifetime of the master of the Facade of Christmas - a truly stunning spectacle. The triumph of lightness and grace.
Although construction continues to this day, the building has already become a public and national treasure, a work of art and a legend of architecture. With the change of masters for the entire construction period, the very idea of erection also changed. Although the general concept was preserved, however, each new project manager made something of his own. As a result, some parts of the cathedral vary considerably.
Despite the ongoing work, the Museum of the History of Construction is already inside this landmark, and large excursions are regularly organized. In addition, the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is open to service from 2010. It is very interesting to go on a tourist route through the cathedral. Inside, the temple is completely finished, it brings peace and tranquility, but no longer produces such a stunning impression as the exterior.
To get on an excursion to the Temple of the Holy Family in Barcelona, you need to try, since the queue of those who wish to enjoy the creation of the great Gaudi is extremely large. Slightly less in the morning and evening hours. However, what is inside is worth it. In the museum, everything seems to breathe with the creations of the famous author. Layouts, details, "arched locks" ... And very near there are workshops where present designers and architects are working on creating drawings for future construction details. Having been there, as if you are in the center of the process and are directly involved in creating a masterpiece. By the way, here you can make a donation, which will go on to further erection. Leaving the museum and workshops, you can climb to one of the towers and enjoy the view that gives all Barcelona, the Temple of the Holy Family. Photos of this miracle, of course, can be found in huge numbers, but they will not convey the whole atmosphere of personal presence.
Immersion in the world of architecture and dedication to the mystery of the great masters will give you Barcelona. The Sagrada Familia, the photo of which will decorate your family album, will leave a memory for yourself for a long time. Not only as the creation of the famous architect Antonio Gaudi, but also as a truly mysterious and mysterious place.
