La Sagrada Familia

I had the opportunity to visit Barcelona, Spain in March 2019. Arguably the most popular tourist attraction of Barcelona is the Sagrada Familia. The Sagrada Familia has been under construction since 1882 and has had a variety of famous architects on the project over the years, most notable has been Antoni Gaudi who designed it. When I was planning my visit, I didn’t know what to expect, but what I saw amazed me. The outside of the building is extremely detailed and is meant to tell biblical stories on every side. The interior is designed to look like a forest with columns meant to look like trees of a forest and stain glass windows representing light shining through the “trees”. I felt like I was walking into a fairy tale story; I felt like I was being transported to another world. The beautiful open space really made me feel like I was in a forest and there were going to be little forest animals all around me. If you ever have a chance to go to Barcelona, the Sagrada Familia would be my top recommendation.
