Gaudi

All of Barcelona’s most amazing sights were designed by one man. I’m sure Stacey has gone into great detail about Gaudí already, so I won’t go on and on filling you in on his history. What he has designed is so different from anything else in the world has ever seen, though, and the best I can do is show you pictures from some of the places we saw that he designed. Check them out here. (There is no link yet because the internet is kind of wacky and I can’t upload albums. I will work on this in Greece.)

There are many buildings around town, but the most noticeable is the Sagrada Familia cathedral. It was started in the late 1800s and will not be completed until halfway through this century. I’ve never seen a structure of that shape or that was as dauntingly tall as this. It completely dwarves the surrounding buildings of six to ten stories. We went inside, but there is so much construction still going on that there was little to see. I’m sure that the guests who visit once it is completed will be speechless.
