Basilica de la Sagrada Familia

Our Quick Access Tour of the Sagrada Familia starts just steps away from the temple, on Gaudí Avenue. We'll begin by admiring the basilica's oldest façade, the Nativity – the only one Gaudí himself saw completed. This façade resembles a burst of nature, almost serving as a portal to a grand forest. Inside, prepare for one of the most breathtaking moments of your journey as you witness the interplay of light and color from the stained glass windows, set against the backdrop of towering columns that echo giant trees, all supporting the Sagrada Familia's 18 spires. Upon completion, the central Jesus tower will crown this temple as the tallest religious building in the world, reaching a soaring height of 172.5 meters. Lastly, the Passion façade, a more recent addition, poignantly depicts the final hours of Jesus Christ with a stark and allegorical design. Following the tour, you're invited to remain inside the temple, taking your time to explore its wonders at your own pace.
