I was in Barcelona last December. Many people don't know this but you can actually go in Sagrada Familia for free if you get there early enough on Sunday morning for Mass. When I entered through the gates there was a choir singing beautiful music and I looked up towards the ceiling... I instantly began to cry. I was overwhelmed by emotion that sprang out from inside me. Completely unexpected. The jaw dropping architecture, surreal interior, lighting coming through the windows and beautiful choir music coalesced into a Spirit that permeated through me... I can only explain it like... it was as if I was given a glimpse of what it might be like to walk through the the gates of heaven. My spirit transcended physical presence here on earth, and my body was left to respond in tears... to just sob. I couldn't help but to just cry. It was an amazing experience.

I've never been to Barcelona but I feel its like the cologne cathedral, you can never imagine how huge that thing is until you stand a few meters in front of it
I was lucky enough to go to Barcelona in 1963. I went to Cathedral and climbed the spiral steps to the top, it was quite scary as a 13-year-old boy. The window openings were open to the sky, low with nothing to stop a person falling out and the steps very steep and narrow at the top. Stonemasons were still at work and It was explained to us that it would take some time to finish it. Well here I am at 66 and it's still not done. Maybe I should make another visit as I'm driving to Spain from Manchester UK very soon. Much respect to the builders.
They won't even let you take the stairs any more though. If you want to go up now you'll have to pay 32 euros, which imho is insane as a few years ago it was 10 at most. Going inside alone is 17 eur already!
I made some calculations...you said you visited the cathedral in 1963 as a 13-year-old boy. That means you were born in 1950. So today, in 2019, you would be 69. But in the end you say you're 66. What?!

I have visited many cathedrals and mosques in my life. There is nothing like the Sagrada. Gaudi pursued his own mastery outside of the vernacular norms of his time. It's also amazing to think this will probably be the last cathedral ever built that has taken such time to complete, while also being built during the most significant advancements in engineering, design, and construction technology.

I become obsessed with this Basilica when I first saw it as a boy .I wanted to go back over and over again in my first travel to Hispania .It is such a work of art .It truly is a letter of undying Love of a Man and a community and all of Christendom to sour Lord Jesus of Nazareth , the Christ .

The Sagrada Familia is much taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza, and it is a far much more complex structure. Not to mention there was a 20+ year period after the Spanish Civil War where no work was done, and the church was damaged by anarchists during the Civil War, necesitating reparation work before construction could resume.

The modern parts of this masterpiece have been done in poor taste and are no reflection of the older parts, which are indeed timeless, beautiful and mindboggling. These modern artists should have kept their incompetent hands off of this piece of art. They devalued it greatly, unfortunately.
All the work being done now at the Sagrada Familia derives from gaudi's plans, drawings and models. No significant changes in design not symbolism have been changed from his original vision of the basilica; the only thing that has been updated is the construction method, which allows the original design to be constructed in a safe up-to-date fashion.
Gaudi's masterpiece is the symbol of what a Man can do when he surrenders himself to God The majesty and glory of this church does not come from how frivolous or tall or ostentateous it is but from how it is actually humble .All of the glory and beauty of it is dedicated exclusively to worship the Lord of Hosts and Maker of All and His Infinite and Perfect Love . The building is not centered on itself or on its designer but on the one that made Man and saved him from Evil and that is what made Antonio Gaudi such a mega genius and designer of one of the greatest works of Art in Human History .Beauty dedicated to He who defined Beauty .Lovingly built to the One who is Love . When I first saw it , I became a bit obsessed .And I always want to return .
Hi! I love the intro clip where the camera panned to the stunning La Sagrada Familia Bascilica! Asking for permission to use it for a school presentation. Will be crediting this video at the end. Thank you!
what they're building has nothing to do with Gaudi's original project or modernism in Catalonia, so they are right. This is just stupid concrete coated in masonry to make it look a bit better. many irrelevant architects and engineers that want to feel like they have participated in a masterpiece when, in fact, they are destroying the original piece of art.
This beautiful building could probably not be finished without modern engineering techniques of lightweight stressed stone, traditional stone masonry would have been much too heavy for the foundations.
@@tomtomt it's actually not 2026. The building will become the highest structure in Barcelona un 2026, but the whole project will probably be finished by the early 2030s

Gaudi's masterpiece is the symbol of what a Man can do when he surrenders himself to God
The majesty and glory of this church does not come from how frivolous or tall or ostentateous it is but from how it is actually humble .All of the glory and beauty of it is dedicated exclusively to worship the Lord of Hosts and Maker of All and His Infinite and Perfect Love .
The building is not centered on itself or on its designer but on the one that made Man and saved him from Evil and that is what made Antonio Gaudi such a mega genius and designer of one of the greatest works of Art in Human History .Beauty dedicated to He who defined Beauty .Lovingly built to the One who is Love .
When I first saw it , I became a bit obsessed .And I always want to return .
I hope it doesn't end burning like the Notre Dame cathedral
To think this started in the 19th century and here we are two centuries later
I love Spain 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
I love Jesus Christ 💖
I guess you love a human being more than you love God then.
As a draftsperson, I would love to see the original plans for this structure!
anarchists burnt them during the civil war
Hi! I love the intro clip where the camera panned to the stunning La Sagrada Familia Bascilica! Asking for permission to use it for a school presentation. Will be crediting this video at the end. Thank you!
its like that Minecraft project you started but never finished
Hope to see this Basilica with my own eyes. ❤ #Barcelona2026
im 14 and i hope that it is going to finish when I'm still alive
wow i wouldn't have imagined so much hate and ignorance in the comments
Yeah they call it useless when it’s literally a church.
@@phoebe6642 Yeah, useless. Churches serve no purpose. It's just a large art piece.
Welcome to TH-cam.
what they're building has nothing to do with Gaudi's original project or modernism in Catalonia, so they are right. This is just stupid concrete coated in masonry to make it look a bit better. many irrelevant architects and engineers that want to feel like they have participated in a masterpiece when, in fact, they are destroying the original piece of art.
@@YoctoGamer Indeed! The work was intended to last unfinished. Lol
As I read some of the comments I think something we say in Spain: "Envy is a very bad thing"...
Tell that to Jeffrey Epstein or Chris Ranieri
Toda la razón 😉👌
I am so glad that the church finished at my lifetime
This beautiful building could probably not be finished without modern engineering techniques of lightweight stressed stone, traditional stone masonry would have been much too heavy for the foundations.
I was outside of a similar looking church in Brazil and I regret not entering, but it was 2018
i will be attending the opening event in 150 years
2026 you mean?
@@tomtomt it's actually not 2026. The building will become the highest structure in Barcelona un 2026, but the whole project will probably be finished by the early 2030s
That’s ridiculous for a church we have more important things to spend money on
Amazing!!
*Why does this look scary, this should give you peace!*
My first visit in Barcelona architecture tour Gaudi captured my imagination. I look forward to re visit the church again.
