In the Sagrada Familia (full name: Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family) we were in the summer. I knew there were long lines to get inside. True, you can not stand in them, but buy an entrance ticket on the Internet, but you need to know the exact date and exact time of your visit, so we did not buy a ticket in advance, because we did not know when we would get to the temple. We stood in line for about 1.5 hours. But trust me it was worth it!
External facades struck with their unusual images. Each of them has its own idea and history of creation. You can look at the facades for a very long time, and each time you find more and more new details ...This is especially true of the facade called "Christmas".
However, what impressed me the most was the interior of the temple. Seeing the Sagrada Familia from the outside, you can’t even guess what is hidden inside the shrine. Antonio Gaudi said that he creates a temple for all people, regardless of their faith.
The main focus in the interior design of the temple is nature. The architect was convinced that only in nature a person can relax, think about life, about himself and find peace, therefore, going inside, one cannot say that this is a religious temple, because what he sees cannot be compared with anything. The columns are made in the form of palm trunks; plant elements are visible, made in the form of multi-colored stained-glass windows. And white is everywhere. Lighting is also thought out to the smallest detail, since the temple has many beautiful stained-glass windows through which sunlight breaks through, which is quite enough.
I can tell a lot more about this temple, because I am still impressed by it. But it is better, of course, to see all this beauty with your own eyes .. .
