Sagrada Familia Barcelona ♥

I'm ready to proceed my  Europe trip post again! =)
This is a post about Barcelona, the land I love most among the countries I've visited in Europe.
And most of them is because of the very unique and unusual buildings and architectures there.

In this post, I'm going to blog about the Sagrada Familia, a Catalonia Cathedral.
A piece of art which is so loved by my baby boy, and now has become one of my favorite too! 
Any one of you out there have any idea who was the architect for this magnificent masterpiece?
He is non other than Antoni Gaudi. I fell in love with all his  work after visiting them!
Sagrada Familia is one of them and I hope you will like it too after reading this post!

Standing firmly



Sagrada Familia is still marred by cranes and scaffolding today after 80+ years of construction! 
And will be finished in 2026 on the centennary of Gaudi's death. A range of architects have continued Gaudi's legacy, trying to finish the church according to the plans he had devised. 

The world is so blessed that he left such amazing masterpieces before his death.
Seriously I was awed and amazed by all his works! 
Love each and every one of them because all of them are different and unique in their very own way.
You must be thinking that I am exaggerating but I can assure you that I DID NOT!
See and visit those works of Gaudi if you have the chance and you will understand =D
I will try to blog about his other works in the future if there is a chance! (if there are requests) *wink*




 Last but not the least, a typical tourist post in front of Sagrada!
