Sagrada Familia

La Sagrada Familia is Gaudis's still incomplete work which is situated in Barcelona's district "Eixample". The church is under construction for more than 100 years (since 1882) and is expected to be completed in the year 2026.

Antoni Gaudi (1852 - 1962) and is the number-one attraction of Barcelona with thousands of visitors from all around the world every day.  Until his death in 1926, Gaudi directed the construction of the Sagrada Familia. But unfortunately, the work undertaken on Sagrada Familia doesn't follow exactly the plans of Gaudi, as the plans were destroyed during the war. When you visit the building you will see the contrast in the stone colour between the front and back of the building. However this in itself is interesting, especially if you visit the museum inside the building.

If you want to spend your stay in a great holiday apartment in Barcelona just beside the gorgeous Sagrada Familia, or if you rather prefer staying in a nice hotel in Barcelona, but also close to the Sagrada Familia, you won't regret your choice.
