Looking for a guided tour of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona?
The Sagrada Familia is undoubtedly the most emblematic building in the city of Barcelona and has become the most visited place in the city. If you could only visit one place in Barcelona, you’d have to choose this amazing church, which encapsulates the essence of Catalan Moderniste architecture.
Antoni Gaudí was the architect behind this building that reaches up into the clouds, although he was never able to see it finished. And he wasn’t the only one; two centuries later, the church is still under construction. Booking a visit to the Sagrada Familia is one of the best ways to discover all the secrets this church hides, which you might overlook if you decide to go alone.
