SAGRADA FAMILIA
.:!:.SAGRADA FAMILIA.:!:.
.:!:.Introduction.:!:.
The monumental church El Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família is Antonio Gaudí's most
famous work, the finest example of his visionary genius, and a world-wide symbol of
Barcelona.
.:!:.What its supposed to look like.:!:.
Gaudi wanted to created a neo-gothic like church. The church was built for the sacred
family.There would be four facades representing the birth,death, and resurrection of
Christ with eighteen towers symbolizing the twelve Apostles, the four Evangelists, and
the Virgin Mary and Christ. This latter, the tallest, would stand 170 meters high. The
church was based on the plan of a Gothic basilica with five naves, a transept, an apse,
and ambulatory. Gaudí planned monumental facades on the central nave and the arms of the
transept.He wanted to give it a vertical dimension by placing large spiral-shaped towers
at the top.
