When a monument is visited by more than 3 million people every year, there has to be something.
And la Sagrada Família has it. Something difficult to explain. Magical. Wonderful.
And there are not enough lines to explain it.
Its construction began in 1882, and it’s not finished yet.
Antoni Gaudí created, without knowing it, Barcelona’s most representative image.
Nowadays, people are still working following the architect’s directions.
It has been said that the temple will be finished for Gaudí’s death century.
But don’t wait for it, you can come earlier!

Can you imagine the medieval Barcelona? Its people, its streets, its traditions…
Of course you can!
Ildefonso Falcones published “The cathedral of the sea” in 2006, a novel inspired in the 14th century of the city, and it fastly became a worldwide best-seller. It explains the story of Arnau, born a serf’s son who obtains his freedom and eventually achieves a higher status.
And as the story develops, the construction of Santa Maria del Mar continues. A very beautiful, impressive church which was built thanks to its neighbours that you can visit nowadays.
Next to it, there is El fossar de les moreres, a very special place for all the catalans.
So… Are you prepared to live Barcelona’s medieval history?
