Barcelona, amongst many things, is famous for architecture inspired and created by Antoni Gaudi. There are many key pieces of architecture; The Sagrada Famillia, Casa Batllo and the palace in Park Guell. All amazingly beautiful in colour and slightly abstract.
Inspired by nature and his environment, The Sagrada Famillia, was the first building of Gaudi's that we visited. His play on light and colour made the perfect backdrop for many of the statues that occupied the interior of the church.
The interior was also slightly gothic in style. The image of Jesus on a cross, seemed a lot rawer than the conventional designs that you see in standard churches.
The nativity facade on the front of the church also sets it apart from other basilicas. So intricate in detail, depicting one of the most well known stories in history.
You can also take a tour of one of the spires. As you would expect, it is narrow and winding, not somewhere to be if you don't like small spaces.
