Immerse yourself in the surreal world of Antoni Gaudí's iconic Sagrada Familia with an intimate 1.5-hour guided tour. Join a small-group or private excursion led by an expert guide, who will unravel the mysteries of this enchanting basilica. As you begin your journey, your guide will regale you with fascinating insights into the ongoing construction, the anticipated completion date, and the remarkable collaboration of artisans, architects, and visionaries who brought Gaudí's vision to life across generations. Outside the basilica, your guide will set the tone for your adventure with a brief introduction before leading you through security and into the majestic interior. Here, you'll marvel at the Nativity Façade, the first completed section of this monumental masterpiece. As you venture deeper into the basilica, be mesmerized by the kaleidoscope of colors filtering through the stunning stained-glass windows and the towering, branch-like columns that seem to defy gravity. Gaudí's ingenious design was inspired by the natural world, evoking the sensation of strolling through a mystical forest, with light dancing through the air like sunlight filtering through leaves. As you exit the basilica, your guide will reveal the poignant story behind the Passion Façade, a powerful representation of Jesus' crucifixion. The dramatic, angular sculptures will leave you in awe, and it's remarkable to consider that this façade was built after Gaudí's passing. Next, you'll visit the Sagrada Familia Schools, which were originally designed for the children of the workers building the basilica. Learn about theschool's turbulent history, including its multiple reconstructions and relocations to accommodate the basilica's growth. The final leg of your journey takes you to the Sagrada Familia Museum, where your guide will share rare, original sketches and plans that demonstrate the intricate complexity of Gaudí's architectural vision. Browse artifacts from Gaudí's life and the basilica's history, including his remarkable upside-down model of the basilica.
