The Sagrada Familia is one of the most emblematic symbols of Barcelona. Discover the history and architecture of Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece with this private tour just for you and your partner, family or friends.
Description
At the scheduled time, we'll begin our private tour of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia meeting at 416 Mallorca Street.
First, we'll take in the breathtaking exterior architecture of this modernist masterpiece designed by Antonio Gaudí. The building has many details that often go unnoticed. For example, what does the magic square with numbers on mean? What scenes from the life of Christ are represented by the sculptures in the different niches? Our English-speaking guide will reveal all while we admire the spectacular Nativity, Passion and Glory façades.
Next, we'll visit the interior of the Sagrada Familia. Inside the basilica, you'll be captivated by the stunning illuminations through its colourful stained glass windows on both sides of the central nave. We'll then go down to the crypt, where the chapels of Saint Joseph, Our Lady of Montserrat and El Carmen, where Gaudí is buried, stand out.
The basilica also houses the Sagrada Familia Museum. Through its exhibition, we'll learn more about the modernist work of Gaudí and his contemporaries. What's more, we'll get to appreciate the architectural evolution of this still unfinished church, whose construction began in 1882.
After an hour and a half, our private tour will come to an end at one of the entrances of the Sagrada Familia. You'll then be free to continue visiting the monument at your leisure.
