Situated in the center of Barcelona, the temple of La Sagrada Familia, is one of the most symbolic structures in Barcelona. Each year, millions of people visit this place and many more study the temple for its architecture and religious meaning.

Although the work is attributed to unparalleled Gaudí, the fact remains that work began on March 19, 1882 from diocesan project architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. It would not be until a year later, in 1883, when Gaudi was commissioned to continue the work that lasted until his death in 1926. Since then, several architects have continued the work following the original idea of Gaudí today.

Like all the works of Gaudi, the Sagrada Familia was designed in order to display originality and its desire to overcome the traditional patterns of architecture. Therefore, he used geometric shapes selected for their formal qualities, structural, lighting, sound and constructive: hiperboloides, paraboloids, helicoid, conoid and ellipsoids.

Antoni Gaudi was aware that he would not be able to finish the temple. For this reason, he organized the construction project so that other people could carry out his ideas for the temple. Construction is still going on today as funds are trying to be raised. There have been several different people in charge of carrying out his work. 
The Sagrada Familia is a must for anyone visiting Barcelona and it is one of the emblems of the city. That's why we offer Barcelona apartments in the area of the Sagrada Familia.
