Casa Batlló
Park Güell
La Sagrada Familia
A word for this last one-- this cathedral left me silent with awe and peace. Gaudi dedicated forty years {until his death} mapping out and constructing this church for the Sacred Family, knowing that "God has all the time in the world" for a beautiful place of worship. Although it has been in the works for 133 years now and still many years ahead, it will be {and already is} an absolutely incredible place.

| Upon completion, there will be 18 spires for each Apostle, Evangelist, the Virgin and Jesus. |
| The exterior is carved with intricate depictions of Christ's life. |
| The inside is dim because Gaudi designed it in the 1800's with the intention of relying solely on natural light. |
| The organ. |
