About Sagrada Familia
Sagrada Família, an iconic basilica in Barcelona, is a masterpiece designed by Antoni Gaudí. Combining Gothic and Art Nouveau styles, its intricate facades and vivid stained-glass windows are mesmerizing. With construction starting in 1882 (and set to be complete in 2025), each detail is imbued with biblical symbolism.
Gaudi didn't leave a comprehensive blueprint. He preferred working with 3D models, many of which were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.
One cannot overlook the reptile-like designs that are prevalent in the architectural structure.
The Nativity Facade was the only facade that Gaudi completed during his lifetime.
Gaudi meticulously planned the interior so that sound would travel optimally for the liturgical choir. Even in its unfinished state, the basilica's acoustics are considered highly advanced.
Highlights
Nativity Facade
The Nativity Facade, the oldest of the three, is a magnificent testament to the early life of Jesus. Remarkably, it's the only facade that Gaudí lived to see completed during his lifetime. Rich in symbolism, it's intricately detailed sculptures narrate the nativity story of Jesus Christ. The design embodies the optimism of birth and life and is exceptionally adorned with naturalistic elements.
Passion Facade
More austere and stark, this facade is dramatic and foreboding, representing the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ. The figures are angular and skeletal, depicting the pain and suffering of Jesus before his death. Unlike the Nativity Facade, Gaudí intended the Passion Facade to be harrowing and disturbing.
The Vaulted Ceiling and Columns
Perhaps one of the most beautiful aspects of the Sagrada Família is its interior, particularly the forest-like columns and the celestial vaulted ceiling. Gaudí designed the columns to mimic trees, branching out towards the ceiling, while the ceiling itself represents the canopy. The nuanced interplay of light and shade spread across the space is a spectacle to behold and you’ll find yourself pondering how did one even design this in a pre-CAD era!
