La Basílica


Antoni Gaudí’s Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família.

Getting around to finally pulling the photos off my camera. Here are some of my favourites from the inside of the famous basilica that is still a work in progress since construction started in 1882. Although Gaudí’s aesthetic isn’t really my cup of tea, I very much admire his work as an artist. The sheer presence of this place was just inspiring… definitely a must on anyone’s travel bucket list!

    I second the “wow” comment below! Absolutely stunning photos! I’d love to visit that cathedral one day, so colourful and bright.

    These are really pretty photos. Looking forward to seeing more from your trip, as I’m sure they will be just as breathtaking! :)

    Wooow! These are so so stunning! I remember staring up at that ceiling for ages when I visited, thinking it reminded me of a kaleidoscope! I can’t wait to see the rest of your photos, I just know it’s going to make me want to plan a trip back though! ;)

      I’d go back in a heartbeat except it’s practically on the other side of the planet from me, so I’m totally envious that you’re “just around the corner” ;)

    Sagrada Familia has been number one on my architecture wishlist since forever. Actually anything Guadi is ranked highly so these photos are super exciting. Especially since it’t the interiors. Most people who go here never seem to take photos of the inside, only the out (which is pretty spectacular I know) Can’t wait to see more!

      Oh I do hope you get to see it in person :) We went to a few Gaudí places, they are all insanely detailed on the inside and even more than the outside I think! Have a few more I’ll post this weekend xx

    These ceilings are amazing! Are there colored lamps lighting up the columns?

    • http://www.absolutely-fuzzy.com/ steph / absolutely-fuzzy.com

      The colour is mainly from the stained glass - I’ve exaggerated it a bit here by pulling the exposure right up!

    Absolutely breathtaking. I hadn’t actually seen images of the inside. Such beautiful colours and use of light.
