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'm not a religious person but I'm fascinated by this project. It is on my bucket list. It's awesome that posterity will have the ability to see the work as it is accomplished.

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 . Anton Gaudí may need to be Beatified .He truly was a genius , so loving of God .
Looking at it in a photo or on technology it looks really big but..... after going there last year when I visited it i was shocked at how huge it is! Words can say how big it is!
Its surreal that construction of this masterpiece will conclude in 2026, i hope i can go c it once its finished. Also lets hope they can start reconstruction on the Notre dame cathedral soon. Hopefully they dont make the roof a greenhouse glass one like some modern architects want.

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.
“...and God willing, we will be the generation that finishes the church.” I got choked up. And if God’s will is otherwise, it would only enrich the story for another generation or two to also have the privilege.

Did the English adjective gaudy come from Gaudí? “Extravagantly bright or showy, typically so as to be tasteless.” In any event, this monstrosity is spectacular.

As awe-inspiring as the Sagrada Familia is, what's the purpose of building to God, if ones doesn't truly worship Him. What's important is the God that inspires the art and following him and worshiping him.
@@bajocontinuo Thank you for your comment. However That would be true, only if we primarily worshiped our work (or the inner pride we derive from it.) You are truly a son of this age, my friend. We should on the other hand worship the Lord Jesus Christ with the totality of our lives (not simply by quality of our craft, which is simply a good grace that comes from God.) Read the epistle to the Romans Ch. 12. Where the apostle calls on the faithful to offer "our lives as a living sacrifice" to God. Cheers, brother
@@j.p.4910 well mate, not everybody is a religious person, I myself am an atheist but I do want the cathedral to be finished as well. It's not only a building to worship your God its much more than that.

When I first saw it , I became a bit obsessed .And I always want to return .
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.
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.

Hope to see this Basilica with my own eyes. ❤ #Barcelona2026
137 years with modern machinery!?
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 UA-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
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.
The skyline of Barcelona will change forever when the sagrada familia fishes !
To think this started in the 19th century and here we are two centuries later

wonder if Antoni will be there at finish to see his legacy as a changed person........sincerely hope so, it would be wonderful🌟♎
What?
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.
@Robo Rana
in the furture the modern parts will look timeless, beautiful and mindboggling, but sadly you won't be there to check it.
enzo mora lets hope so
@Robo Rana Are you dumb? This is what Gaudi intended. They are building it exactly to plan.
@@tbn22 You clearly haven't seen the building. I lived right next to it. The new parts are aweful.
I hope it doesn't end burning like the Notre Dame cathedral
Hermosa catedral
Beautiful
