If you only have one day in Barcelona, be sure to visit the Sagrada Familia!
The Barcelona people once decided to build a huge beautiful temple in their home, and so that it would not look like anything before - and they succeeded! I will not describe - you just need to look. And not in a hurry - it took us 4 hours.
Regarding the holivar on the topic "what Gaudi built is a masterpiece, but what after - everything was spoiled. "
In 1994, I saw the temple, almost as Gaudi left it - that is, the pediment of the Gate of the Nativity and 4 towers. It was charming, magnificent, with a certain unfinished finish. It did not look like a church, but rather like a fairy-tale palace of the sea king. There was nothing to see inside, and the very concept of “inside” did not exist - the building visually had a width, but no depth. Outside, everything was magnificent, very unusual and mysterious ....
Now there is volume and "inside".
And inside, everything looks great and innovative - definitely worth a visit, not just from the outside.
Now it looks like a church. The pediment of the Gate of the Nativity is already a little lost, and with the completion of the construction of the main (highest) towers, it will be lost even more. But this is the project of Gaudi himself! What claims to modern architects?!
In general, I understand the critics, but I do not support them. ))))
Tickets were bought in advance, we were let in 5 minutes before our time. I liked the audio guide very much. Decide the issue of raising to the top of the tower (by elevator) in advance, being in the temple you can’t buy these tickets (we didn’t succeed).
