Sagrada Familia by Antoni Gaudi

Barcelona has many buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi. They are very modernistic and use curves instead of straight lines. We got to see a few of the buildings via bus on the last day of our Cruise as we headed to the airport. It was raining hard that day so we didn't get to spend much time outdoors. Here are a few pictures of the Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) Cathedral that is not complete yet. He worked on the Roman Catholic Cathedral for 40 years. Gaudi has since died, but the city is trying to complete the church, in Sept. they are supposed to be able to have services inside, but the building won't be completed until 2026.

The holy family

This is the newer section that is being built now according to his plans but with some updates.
