Probably the most breathe taking was the landmark architectural works include the superb designs of the famed Antonio Gaudi. Visit his masterwork, La Sagrada Familia, a church that began its construction in 1881 and still remains incomplete; but work is in progress!! Many of the people in the area desire for it to be complete in 2016 but it's not sure if that will occur. AMAZING!! Starting on the east side of the building - as the sun rises you will see the birth of Christ. Walk to the west side of the building (the side in which the sun sets) you will see the death of Christ. Looking at the building from Left to Right you will see the remarkable story of Christ's life. The stone carvings are unbelievable!!! Inside the church the amazement continued with incredible staircases but also huge pillars that are formed like trees. The entire building was beyond amazement. I found this website that shared so much more about this incredible building - http://www.sagradafamilia.cat/sf-eng/docs_instit/historia.php?lang=0
We then went to see more of Gaudi's work is on display in Park Guell;we found astounding stone structures intricately inlaid with a rainbow of multicolored tiles. Also in the park is an outstanding fountain shaped like a dragon, which locals refer to as "the lizard. " It has become one of Barcelona's signature symbols.
