The Sagrada Familía was Gaudi's last work. It's a church (not a cathedral) dedicated to the Holy Family. Gaudi died while working on it, and he's bured in it. It's pretty overwhelming walking through and around it, there's a lot that catches the eye. I tried to get my camera to catch some.


Shot before we went in.

One of 2 main sides (back side). When completed there will be a central tower twice as tall as these.

Close-up of the back-side.

Another close-up of the back side.

This is the front side. Actually its a collage shot that I quickly stitched together with Photoshop. I like how it came out.

Here's another collage, this time of the back-side, stitched with Photoshop.

This is the same set of pictures, but stitched together with Canon's PhotoStitch Software. Take your pick of which one you like better.

This is some of the inside work. The church is still a work in progress, they hope to have it done in 2050 or something like that.

A blurry shot that I like of the stairs in one of the towers.

We were able to climb up the towers, here is a shot looking down on the church from an opening in one of the towers.

Here's a shot of the Parc de Gaudi, from the top of the towers. Those are dove statues on the side of the tower.

A nice close-up shot of Jules. We were trying to take a manual picture together (hold out the camera and shoot at ourselves), but I had forgotten to unzoom it. I thought it turned out great. It's on top of the tower as well.
