Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American.
The Sagrada Familia is the most impressive building I have had the chance to visit.
Glad you’re enjoying your visit!
Recommend visiting the interior of Casa Batlló (photo 2). Seeing Gaudí’s vision translated into a bourgeois apartment building is really interesting.
I feel sagrada familia is tad overrated. Only one face of it. The original is worth it. I love gaudi. I prefer all the other works to this thing
Muy española y mucho española
I was moved to tears when I walked into Sagrada Familia for the first time, it reawakened a sense of wonder and awe in me that I had not felt in many years. It was one of those experiences I dearly wish I could go back and feel for the first time.
The sagrada familia is like Christianity on mushrooms from the exterior.
The interior is like Christianity in outer space.
Coolest single building I’ve ever been in by a longshot.
I’ve been in Casa Batio previous week. Maybe the most beautiful building I have ever seen.
👍🏻 love it
Instructions to take a great picture inside Sagrada Familia: close your eyes, point the camera up 45 degrees or more randomly, click. Done, great picture
I was inside casa Batlló! Did you?
The inside of the Sagrada Familia looks like some weird low-poly video game of someone trying to make a church but not really knowing how to make it
I’m going in two weeks and I’m planning on eating a few mushroom chocolates and walking around. Any suggestions beyond the public Gaudi buildings?
If you’re still in Barcelona I recommend you go check out the works of Lluís Domènech i Montaner. He was a contemporary of Gaudí and he has amazing buildings. He’s one of the many reasons why I want to go back to Barcelona (beware he was kind of a jerk in his lifetime)
God tier architect
También hay obras de Gaudí en León, Astorga y Cantabria si alguien se acerca por el norte.
This is archibishop palace in my land, this is in Astorga, sadly is not very known but is very beautiful and is also Gaudí.
Just do amazing isn’t it?
Interesting that Gaudí is so celebrated in a moment when everything else (including people) has to proof the concepts of progress, streamlining, cost effectiveness and functionality.
Also comforting that the ideas of beauty and beato (that were a counterpoint of the industrialization Gaudí witnessed) still bear attraction. At least on postcards and vaccation.
I also guess that in its time St. Maria Del Mar had the same effect on those who “never saw something like that”.
Gaudi is bonkers.
You should see El Capricho, in Comillas, Cantabria (Northern Spain). From my point of view is one of his bests.
