The most sought after building that people go see in Barcelona is Gaudi´s Sagrada Familia. Gaudi is a famous artist that is from Spain and did much of his work in Barcelona and Paris. Sagrada Familia means, church of the holy family. The church monsters over all other buildings in the city and can be easily spotted in the city skyline because of it´s unique towers. There are twelve towers to represent the twelve apostles (all twelve towers are not fully completed). The church is one of the biggest modern-day construction projects, which began in 1882 with a completion date in 2026.
Inside the ground-level of the church was not as amazing as I was expecting because of all the construction. However, if you wait in line to take the elevator up... the sights are unbelievable!
It gives you the chance to be up-close with amazing architechure and the height lets you see the entire city!

The walk down the Sagrada Familia was tight (literally). The narrow spiral staircase weaving in and out was very unique. I would highly recommend going up into the church and also sit in the park across the street to admire the building´s beauty.
