"We have to start here, as no guide to Barcelona would be complete without the city’s most popular structure ever created. This is no run-of-the-mill, stained-glass Catholic church. Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia is filled with interesting sculptural work, mixing Gothic styles, curvaceous Art Nouveau aesthetics, and Gaudí’s own, unusual vision. Impressive both on the outside and inside, this is a must-see for architecture enthusiasts. The building has been under construction for decades, and the completion date keeps moving up (it’s currently estimated to be finished in 2028). At this point, the scaffolding is part of the charm. Buying tickets in advance is highly recommended, as the wait can be quite long." - MATADOR_NETWORK
