Barcelona Day 1 (21, Dec., 2008)


Today we visited No. 1 Barcelona Tourist Attraction - Sagrada Familia by Antonio Gaudi.
This Giant Temple was designed by the master architect Antonio Gaudi and has been under construction since 1882 and they've still got another 30 to 80 years to go before it will be finished.


This school lad statue is in the neighborhood of Familia.







Still under construction. It is already a masterpiece.




Lots of sculpture arts like this in the outside wall.





Karen translates the Spanish: "What is the Truth"








Inside structure columns, every piece is an art.
