![[4K]🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain: Basilica of the Sagrada Família, Gaudi's glorious vision. Oct. 2022](/img/n.gif)
May God bless all those who have worked to bring to life this masterpiece.
God Bless Brother
I visited the Sagrada Familia the first time I left the USA and went on a European vacation, I was in college. I was in awe a truly a work of art. My teenage daughter will be going to European (high school trip) in March 2015. She is looking forward to La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. We are making plans, as a family, to visit the Basilica when it is completed in 2026. Some people do not like the Sagrada Familia …. well…many people did not liked the Eifel Tower when it was in construction. Salutation from California, USA!
Wow such an amazing work of art. You do not have to be Christian to fully appreciate this wonderful structure. His work is simply perfect.
I visited the Sagrada Familia two weeks ago for the first time. I have to admit it is the most spectacular masterpiece I have ever seen. Standing facing the Nativity facade I was totally blown away by the incredulous beauty, I was transfixed by what I was looking at as was my daughter. When you walk around the circumference you realise just how enormous the structure is, truly an incredible achievement by so many masters of architecture and building. It was a tragedy that the master Gaudi lost his life under the wheels of a tram, to not be able to work longer on his masterpiece. Unfortunately we were unable to view the interior due to time constraints but will be returning without a doubt. Not to be missed.
Is it finished yet ? 💝🤩🤩💝
@@HassanCodA-Xod8hm Not yet
I had the oportunity to visit Barcelona and see this building a few weeks ago and I took amazing pictures to share with my architect son….this building is absolutely stuning in every word! Mucho love from USA
Can you please send me " Sagrada Familia's exterior n interior pictures? I need these pictures for my thesis.. Detailed images
When I entered the Sagrada Familia I fell to my knees…and felt very small and humble.
I felt the same way, when I walked inside 15 years ago. God willing, I will be there in 2016 to see it complete. Salutations.
Charles Mendeley I know! However, they will probably bomb a building in New York! We'll have to wait and see.
A normal psychological response. Nothing spiritual about it.
@@TheChurchHistoryChannel what a surprising comment from a religious named account. Lol
@@TheChurchHistoryChannel and you judge someone else spirituality or lack of it because?
Coming back to see this when it is complete in 2026. I think about it almost every day.
10 years to go. Can't wait!
SO DO I, I can't seem to see enough of it. There is one video I have not been able to find again: the cathedral is filled with choirs from all over the world and several directors in various places, including balconies, are directing with the aid of cameras and screens to all the choirs stay together. If you read this and find THAT Video, please post it to proorgo53@aol.com Thank You!
I hope to do the same thing! I can't wait
@@MCA391 huh? just 7 years to go...
Kimmy Kat same here, but now 6 1/2 more years
130 years of construction is not a long time compared to some of the mediaeval cathedrals, which were built over many centuries.
Well yes but that is only becouse this one is being build in contemporary time, with all the knowleage, equipment and Technology advances of this era. If someone attempted to build this in medieval times it will definitely take hundreds of years more, as it may as well be the most complex structure of them all
I can tell that you’re talking of Notre Dame
@@raflamar4146 Not necessarily, he was talking about cathedrals in general.
Medieval times? lol what about ancient times like the Pyramids or the Colosseum
@@joana2892 it has the same constraints as they did with most large projects throughout history. Money. All the stone intricate masonry still has to be done by skilled craftsmen. Who have the same skills as they did several 100 years ago.
When I stood outside this place and then went inside it, I was just stunned as to how the human mind can conceive something as extraordinary as this. If you go there, you can also see the school building he built for the children of the workers. Even that school house is quite a conception.
Extraordinary masterpiece. . . Gaudi, the Catalonian architectural genius, moved by devotion to his Lord. It is a modern masterpiece that I will hope will inspire people to see and look at life beyond themselves, and, aspire, perhaps for something greater than themselves.
Doug Jones its catalan, not catalonian
It is the most beautiful basilica you will ever see! The inside took my breath away and I felt tears streaming down my face.
I believe this amazing church, and the Hagia Sofia in Constantinople(Istanbul) are architectural masterpieces in of themselves. Not just to the Christian faith, but of all mankind.
Oui
Notre Dame de Rouen is pretty spectacular too
Saint Peters Basilica is super awesome as well
I just went there a few days ago and had the same thought as the Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia is a mosque now, and by the way things are headed Notre Dame, Cologne cathedral, St. Peter's Basillica, St Paul's Cathedral will be mosques too. There are so many people in Pakistan, Bangladesh, even some in India, the Maghreb, Sahel, Middleeast eyeing at Europe, the expansion of Ottoman Empire or Ummayad chaliphate merely paused not stopped. The dreams live on.
I am an atheist but this isnt about religion. This is about appreciating beauty. This is really amazing.
Very well said
same
Absolutely true, the architecture really is breathtaking.
The architecture is gorgeous, I admire the patience in building this church. I'm an atheist as well but I'd be lying if I said some of the most gorgeous structures in the world were those from religious roots.
It all about religion
A humble salute from a fellow Architect .....
My jaw dropped when I first laid eyes on this building. It really is astonishing.
I've been there and it's absolutely awe-inspiring and one of the most beautiful places to which I've been!
Thanks be to God.! I was blessed to participate the Holy Mass in Sagrada Familia in 2016.
Thank you all CATHOLICS FOR DONATIONS...TO THIS GLORIOUS CHURCH OF OURS IN SPAIN.
Feao Kautai Many donations are in fact tickets paid for tourists though
That could have been used to help the poor and needy, because the God of everything, needs yet another overpriced building to spread his glory! Hallelujia. Tell me which dead royal will be housed here?
@@piemoon2488 Let's just copy all those ugly Soviet buildings because they are cheap.
@@belvedere416 You have to copy because you don't have your own ideas
@@piemoon2488 I mean copying is cheaper. Creativity requires thought and resources. Besides, making beautiful buildings doesn't mean the poor and sick are being ignored.
The inteior became most beautiful during the celebration of Holy Mass
I agree.
It is so bad to realize that a war could destroy in a few seconds a 200 years labour. Anarchist attack in the Spanish civil war is an example, and more when it will represent the most important christian building.
+REX IGAR I'm just glad that they didn't destroy the rest of Spain's beautiful churches during that war.
It's more than a "Christian building" I feel. Hopefully, all religions could come together as one there. Realize we all come from the same God and not fight. He wouldn't want that. This is more than a church, this is a symbol, a statement. Hopefully, anyone with enough power to destroy it would have the tenth of a brain it takes to not destroy such a masterpiece.
Abigail Goolsby It is well known that human being have no brain when bad times come on. I hope this church will remain many years.
+REX IGAR Just an FYI, Orwell fought in the Spanish Civil War and mentioned that the Sagrada Familia was spared due to its "artistic value." He did quip though: "I think the Anarchists showed bad taste in not blowing it up when they had the chance, though they did hang a red and black banner between its spires." Orwell - Homage to Catalonia. I think Orwell was being a bit tongue-in-cheek. Thankfully the Sagrada Familia still stands today for all to appreciate.
+Manny Perez In fact they did. In every town of Spain the churhces or the sacred statues they contained, which were centuries old, were burnt. And also all sacred instruments like glasses, cups, monstrances, relics... were sold to the soviets for weapons.
*When Gothic meets Modern architecture*
*_hallelujah_*
Neo-Gothic would be a better description.
Either way … It is gorgeous!
no. neo-gothicism
This is not neo-gothic. This is.....
Something else.
It’s called art nouveau. A stunning architectural style, that corporates the elements of the nature.
Oh my gosh. I dont know why im crying Antoni Gaudi is a amazing! i just cant
+Eloisa are you believe into Jesus?? Cz the building looks amazing to Christians only
I'm a Christian
I was able to travel to Spain last year and visited this place. On the bus ride, I had no idea that our tour would take us to the church (I was too excited to read the pamphlet in detail, lol). I remember riding on the bus and saw it from many blocks over, and the moment my eyes lay upon it, I gasped. It literally took my breath away. When the guide told us we would be visiting, I became so excited.
When we came to the front doors, I wanted to capture everything in that moment, with my eyes and my camera. It really would take days just to go through everything on the facade, and upon entering, it is gorgeous. So large, sacred, and beautiful. Though it has a very architectural-like feel, it seemed both very grounded and earthy, yet celestial. The stained glass windows all have a meaning in the way their color scheme is set up as well, and the sunlight shining through them causes them to come alive.
This creation is astounding for so many reasons, and I feel that anyone who visits, regardless of faith/creed, would find it amazing. It is a work of art, and the artist's passion definitely lives in this space. It is a beauty.
Almogaver. You are very lucky. I visited Barcelona in November and I fell in love with it!
Gaudi would have wanted this church to reflect some of the Glory of God, our Father. We must give thanks to the LORD for they way he inspires good men and women.
There is no room in the world for people (the anarchists who destroyed Gaudi's work during the Spanish Civil War) who would destroy a work like this. Agree to disagree - kill each other, low is what they are but do not destroy works of art like this!
Robin Mead No estic gens d'acord. Gran part de la destrucció de grans monuments artístics com el Teatre Victoria i d'altres ,anifestacions artístiques i culturals catalanes vam ser destruìde pel bàndol franquista.
Worst part is people like that are still around today ie ISIS and antifa
The church was hardly built so it wasn't anything like the work of art you see today, they had been opressed for years by god capital and state. Its easy to see why they destroyed these symbols of opression, the money was going to building the building not feeding the workers or protecting them against Franco. It was a revolution and a civil war not an act of terrorism or small window smashing
@@wewuzvikangz4829 isis and antifa are not anarchist organizations
@@lightarmanov6266 antifa is an anarchist organisation
Whenever I look at pictures of the outside of this place all I can think of is a big termite colony.
Hahahahaha very well said
Gaudi's trademark ,organic architecture.
That or a pile of bird poop. I'm from Barcelona it never appealed to me, but i've been inside and it's one of the best i've seen
lol yes
i like the interior
i am amazed and deeply feel excitement what human achieves by having believes on God. we must be thankful for those who spend their life to make strong this "believes". as a Muslim i love christians when they said they believe on GOD. creativity is such a amazing gift by God. peace for the world for the mankind. Love for Spain from Pakistan.
and yeas like the singing of that boy. can any one tells his name please
+Hussain Ali It is a pleasure to read you. Gracias
Antoni Gaudí wasn't spanish as he didn't speak spanish but catalan. Sagrada familia was "his gift and a symbol of the universal values of a future and modern Catalonia" in his own words and he observed the architecture from around the world and from nature to create such a mixture of techniques. But he never considered himself as spanish as Spain was a dictatorship for centuries. Spanish dictatorships even tryed to censor and eliminate his political thoughts from history even modifying some of his sculptures and hiding all cataln flags designed by Gaudí in his buildings. The fact is that the favourite architecture of Gaudí was mudéjar and muslim architecture, more than gothic.
huge respect
that's the type of atitude that'll make the world what it is meant to be
Hussain Ali catalonia, not spain, gaudi was independentist
Jimi x Solo de ver lo que escribes dan ganas de vomitar de verdad. Hablaba castellano y tb catalán so palurdo y España no ha sido una dictadura durante siglos: hubo 2 la de Primo del 23 al 30 y luego la de Franco. Aprende historia que eres un ignorante con mayúsculas y déjate tu bazofia nacionalista metida en un cajon. Admira el arte arquitectónico de un maestro y dejate la politica para la ANC y Omnium
Incredible. Amazing. Gorgeous. I can't wait to visit this work of a building one day. Truly remarkable what everyone involved in this project has accomplished.
detailsmovement if you live to see it
Why are there so many "art critics" trolling here if you dislike the content? Aren't there some kittens playing the piano or something less complicated you can watch instead that your simple minds can comprehend?
They not appreciate the beauty of architecture.
"I am an intellectual!" - You
Maybe they were deleted? I only see awed and inspiration comments
@TheClassicalSymphony Most Cathedrals are awe inspiring. Notre Dame. St Peter. Toledo cathedral is outstanding, Spain has many such. Barcelona has its Cathedral and others, Gaudí is just another world altogether.
@TheClassicalSymphony something something oi something something
I was amazed when I first came across this church , sadly I wasn't able to go in but it's extremely beautiful and breath taking 😩
Loads more springs to mind 👉
Like question behind the question.
+ Schoenberg Gate in Vienna and also 💝💝💝
Amazing. I pray to visit this church one day in my life.
Great explanations concerning a wonderful architect with such visions! Loved it! Thank God for those gemstones He allows us to discover.
House of God
educational, informational, interesting. I am a teacher and this video helped my seven year old students study about Spain.
While watching this I'm drawn to the question of what could have motivated them to survived this long. So many different reasons I'm sure but I believe this has divine intervention. God bless all the people who are involved in the process of taking action to make it a reality. One day I'll visit this magnificent churches including this one of course ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
As a christian i believe what Gaudi Do is a vision from God, that build something like this, we just pray that this church will finish soon, and many people will bless with this church, To more closer with God, im an christian an architect to. Hope have a vision like Gaudi, to build such an Honor place For God people.
This is the first time I've seen inside the Sagrada Familia, although I've seen many external photos in the past, the inside is astounding from a visionary, engineering and structural aspect. The like has never before or since been attempted. Gaudi was a visionary way beyond his time and for Spain to faithfully follow his vision says much for the respect they hold for him.
Gaudi deserves a movie about himself and the cathedral maybe after year 2026 or even earlier
Hmm perhaps
Or even Jorn Utzon and the creation of the Sydney Opera House.
The Sagrada Familia is one of those places that no matter how many times you have seen it in photos or videos, once you see it in person you can't help it but to gasp at how magnificent it really is.
I’m very happy to see this place, I visit this place with my family,I never saw this type of church before.
Gorgeous!!!! Adding to my bucket list of places I must visit. BUT I will wait till it is fully completed in a few years :)!
God's architecture created Lara Logan's magnificent self
You are right.. This video was 10 years ago when architect Mark Burry said that it will need another 10 more years.. It's amazing this masterpiece a one-of-a-kind cathedral will be finished in my lifetime..
Architect Antoni Gaudi was indeed a century ahead compared to the other architects during his lifetime..
we went all over europe and l can truly say no other building modern or ancient comes close to this. A person cannot die without witnessing this divine inspiration
Absolutely amazing, I so wish to see it complete some day
GOD SPAIN LOVERS OF GOD..
GLORIOUS TO VIEW OUR MOST AMAZING ROMAN CATHOLICISM. IT'S NOT SURPRISING WHAT YOU'VE ACHIEVED FOR ANYTHING DEDICATED TO OUR GOD...NOTHING ON EARTH IS COMARABLE. THANK YOU GOUDI FOR SAGRADA FAMILIA...SIGNIFIES THE REIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON EARTH & GUIDING ARCHITURE TO GOD!!! AMEN TO THAT!!!

I was there in March 2017 what a beautiful building!! Lost as beautiful as Lara Logan.
reference12 ..people who use youtube need to calm down and learn to spell check.
A True labour of love and faith. The dedication of those from all around the world is nothing short of a miracle. May this place inspire MAN to seek God and have a personal relationship with Jesus, Our Savior.
Amen. ➕
Monument breathtaking!
I never seen such a pharaonic monument and refined ^^
When seen in real life, this is yet another dimension to a picture or video like that!
When one is at the foot of the monument, it is really amazing !!!
I am really surprised to see embittered people who find that ugly gigantic temple,
It is such a refined and elegant architecture!
If you find this masterpiece of ugly, you do not like much things ^^ let's be honest or it is hypocrisy !!!
Yet in my country, in France, there are many beautiful cathedrals, basilicas and recognized!
Although beautiful, nothing amazed me as much as the Sagrada Familia ^^
people who disregard things like this just have no spiritual life. The saddest life if you ask me. And l'm not referring to it in any religious way
F for France
Great Video! I'm going to Barcelona in May, so excited to this masterpiece!
I will visit this church ⛪in its full glory. Strive to be there in 2026 if god permits!!!!!!!!!
It's like walking in a forest of stone with the sun peaking through the canopy. Gorgeous vision!
Thanks sir Gaudi.
God bless.
GREAT NEW ZEALANDER - MARK FOR FÒR BEING IN SPAIN HELPING SAGRADA FAMILIA!! PRAISE GOD FOREVER!!
The stained glass windows are beautiful
Some people criticise this building as being inappropriate in some way but I sincerely believe that Senor Gaudi intended it to be his gift to Almighty God. The true gift will depend how it is used when it is completed ie love of mankind by mankind.
"All things come from God and His own do we give Him" Blessings and peace be with you all
God inspires Beauty, Love, Truth. The evil that men do, even in the name of God, does not come from God.
You clearly have not read your own book.
You are so correct. This building has nothing to do with God. Maybe Satan…. But not God.
Magnificent and inspiring!!!
Just fantastic! One mind to conceive all of this is unbelievable! You have to see it to believe it. Get your tickets online otherwise you might miss out!
Great work
I saw it a year ago. It’s an amazing structure, principally because the vaulting is like no other. It is wholly original. Each tower represents an individual, but I’ve forgotten how it goes.
GH1618 The twelve disciples, Mary and the tallest for Jesus
18 in all I think ... 4 for the 4 evangelists as well
This building is amazing. Fit for GOD. Lara is striking, WOW. The Japanese sculputerer has an amazing job. Someday I will visit this Church.
It's really amazing! I can't imagine anything more beautiful.
The 8th wonder of the world!
Not even close!
It is very beautifull in every way though
@@mudza92 Why a christ stone figure deserves it?
@moo I see your point, and I agree with some of them because even though I'm no expert in any way, i makes sense. I just have a common knowledge about it which is probably based on a lot of misconceptions I can admit. All I'm trying to say that for somehing to be an 8th wonder of the world you would have to invent a new element and build something no one ever did before with it or something. This language is killing me, today everything is awesome, and everyone is a genius, and everything is hilarious and amazing. We always go for the top shelf of the word to describe something fairly amusing with hilarious for example. Thats all I have to say about that.
Nah, that's andre the giant
Raúl Barrientos you have an animé profile pic so your opinion doesn't matter
Gaudi ended his latter years sleeping on site.. People crossed the road when they saw him but when he died half of Spain turned out for his funeral.
Shame he crossed the road!! He was run over by a tram!!
@Paul Marshall, what he is trying to say... Gaudi in his latter years always sleeping in that church and when Spanish people see him on the construction site nobody say hi or hello to him. That's his point.
We all knew that Gaudi was hit by a tram.
Very great piece on the Sagrada Familia. Very accurate and informative information.
Thank you.
The men/women who designed these beautiful structures were definatley Gods blessing to us. The thought time and detailed work in their thoughts are absolutely magically breathtaking and surreal. As if they lived in another world and time. I love this so much!
Just had to chime in out of respect for such an incredible work in progress. No effort could have endured or could have produced such beauty than an act in honor of God. I have my reason to visit Spain.
The architecture is superb, the Catholic Church should pay for the work to be done !
Damn i love our continent.
Lovely vision and work. hope they get all the money to finish the project.
They charge $$$$ to get in and thousands a day go in.
I am almost weeping. Antoni Gaudi was indeed God's Architect. And The Sagrada Familia Basilica is THE greatest structure ever designed and built.
Very lucky people working on this project. Wish to be one.
Barcelona is a beautiful city.....there is nothing like in the whole American continent
Amen..if only the officials wanted to do something about the pickpockets and the bad people in the police department-the situation could not be this obvious and broad,if there was not some kind of the blessing from the higher ranks.
Quebec city?
there are nice mountains though
Mexico city? Monterey? Guadalajara?
Montreal, Montevideo,Quebec city, bueno Aries, Boston to name a few.
This is the pinnacle of art. Absolutely sublime.
Wow! This is an amazing building! I just...wow!
A wonder of the world in the making.
Place to prostrate myself 40 days and 40 nights and close my eyes forever 😊
Man, not religious by any stretch bit I love the design of the building and spiritual significance of it.
Each soul did as he or, she saw fit, to express his or her love, for The GOD of the universe.
What this beautiful soul has done, is so imtense, breathtakingly stunning, mouth agaping, nothing more to be said but, raise hands and glorify GOD, who gave him the cunning craftsmanship, that after 150years, people are still following his guidelines!
I do my courtesies to such an incredible mind.
Thank you ancestor Antoni, for thinking of us all in your work.
Amazing!
Como español, y viviendo en Barcelona, me aterra ver tanta gente boquiabierta mirando las obras de la Sagrada Familia. Me encanta el arte, sobretodo la arquitectura, el modernismo catalán es maravilloso y Gaudí fue impresionante por su innovación, pero, sólo le dio tiempo a levantar una de las fachadas, y qué fachada, impresionante se mire por donde se mire pero, como todo el mundo sabe, se quemaron los planos y el proyecto quedó huérfano de guía arquitectónica. Con el tiempo, para sufragar las costosas obras, se hacían cuestaciones anuales y al ritmo que iban todo hacía presagiar que duraría más que la catedral de Milán.
En algún momento, algún ser maquiavélico (no quiero saber quien o quienes) decidió o decidieron, acabar las obras lo antes posible no importa cómo. El hormigón llovió a raudales en pilares, muros y torres; al principio se ocultaban a las vistas de la gente, en tanto en cuanto se forraban de piedras, pero, con el tiempo ya no importó que se viesen, era de dominio público y, en el frenético trabajo de acabar, sea como sea, (esta es una visión particular del que suscribe) se realizaron imágenes ultramodernas inspirada en la Stars Wars, como Dark Vader y, la no menos aberrante, fachada principal, un impresionante muro de hormigón inspirado, creo, en la presa Hoover del Rio Colorado.
Siento vergüenza, como barcelonés, cómo engatusan a los turistas, pido perdón por la parte que me toca. Que se admire la Fachada del Nacimiento es normal !!!pero el resto¡¡¡ me apena.
Forgot it was a family’s cathedral it’s been a long time since I was there.
Looking at the entrance of the Cathedral is amazing in person, and so is the view from inside the top towers
I am out of words, is so beautiful.
Ad majorem Dei gloriam !
Amazing, glorious, beatifull towers. And the building's ok too
I read about it from dan brown's nobel( origin), what an amazing building!
So the Sagrada Família will be complete on the 100th year anniversary after the death of Antoni Gaudí in 1926 which is expected to be finish in 2026
Actually, according to George Orwell, in his memoirs about the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia, the Sagrada Familia was (fortunately) spared during the spanish revolution because of its 'artistic value,'. But the Anarchists "did hang a red and black banner between its spires."
With Gods blessings, Gaudi is sending the right people to finish the job.
This is the most beautiful and the most spectacular building in the world.
The church is an artistic masterpiece.
This is really a world heritage site with all the engineers building it from around the world
Thank you BENNETT & YOUR DAUGHTER FOR building on SAGRADA FAMILIA...GLOROIUS CHURCH NOTHING LIKE IT!!
absolutely impressive, magnificent
Will be the greatest church ever someday
Maravilha ... Seria um sonho eu um dia poder visitar !!!
Very good history of the church.
God bless you
This place is beautiful
BEAUTIFUL!!!! ♥
Beautiful 🕺 💙
i love grand architecture
