The Sagrada Familia Cathedral cured my cervical spine condition

⛪️ The Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona is a masterpiece of the architectural genius Gaudí. The panoramic reflection of the Nativity façade combined with the sunlight filtering through the stained glass brings in a dreamlike palette of colors. It's truly a breathtaking work of art, and a 2-hour visit leaves one longing for more. 🎫 Ticket + audio guide: Adults €26, Students and under 30s €24, Seniors €21, Children under 11 free 🎫 Ticket + audio guide + tower access: Adults €36, Students and under 30s €34, Seniors €28, Children under 11 free 📷 Photo spot There is a small lake opposite the Sagrada Familia, and the lakeside is the best spot for photography 🧐 The entrance is located on the side of the Nativity façade (Façana del Naixement), which was built before 1935 and is most directly influenced by Gaudí 🧐 The sculptures of the Nativity façade are ornate and intricate, depicting the scene of Jesus' birth 🧐 On the other side is the Passion façade (Façana de la Passió), which visitors will come to after touring the interior. The Passion façade was built between 1954-1976 according to Gaudí's 1917 design, depicting the scene of Jesus' Passion 🧐 The sculptures of the Passion façade have very modern lines, sharp and indirect, making all the characters in this scene appear more haggard and sorrowful 🧐 The stained glass on both sides of the church has cool tones of blue, green, and purple on one side and warm tones of red, orange, and yellow on the other, filling the entire interior of the church with dazzling and mesmerizing light and colors ⏰ Opening hours November to February: Monday to Saturday 9am-6pm, Sunday 10.30am-6pm March, October: Monday to Saturday 9am-7pm, Sunday 10.30am-7pm April to September: Monday to Saturday 9am-8pm; Sunday 10.30am-8pm ⚠️Tips ‼️ There is a place to store small bags at the tower entrance ‼️ Appropriate dress is required, tops must cover the shoulders, and the lower body must not wear shorts or skirts that are too short ‼️ Tickets can be booked up to 2 months in advance ‼️ Audio guides are available in Chinese, only for visitors aged 11 and above ‼️ Tower access is limited to a choice between the Nativity façade tower and the Passion façade tower ‼️ The ascent to the tower is by elevator, and the descent requires walking down the stairs
