Free tour Sagrada Familia (exterior)

We invite you to tour the exterior of La Sagrada Familia to explore the symbolic worlds that run through it.

We will discover through his forms why Gaudí is one of the most important artists of the modern era.

You will be able to live the experience of a living building , still under construction, that will become the tallest church in the world.

In addition to being one of the most imposing buildings of the modern era, La Sagrada Familia brings together the mystery of its symbolic sculptures and the magic of being still under construction.

Gaudí , who created the design in its entirety, is one of the greatest exponents of modernism and dedicated much of his life to the design and coordination of this project.

We will start by touring the façade of the Nativity , the only one that could have accompanied him in life. We will be able to see how each feature of the stone, even the smallest, has a story behind it.

In addition to discovering all these peculiarities, you will also find out about the small extravagances of this artist : his daily dealings with the builders, the techniques used and the inspiration for many of his forms.

We will also be able to see the innovations that he incorporated in the design of traditional sectors of the churches, the importance of including lights in the temples and the small details that make each sculpture hide worlds within worlds.

Finally, we will tell you how the construction changed after Gaudí's death, who and how were in charge of interpreting his ideas and we will try to reveal the great unknown: Can it be finished within the stipulated deadlines?

Some of the places we will visit

• Gargoyles with naturalistic inspiration.
• Characters inspired by people he knew.
• Symbols that connect with the interiors.
• Former school for the builders' children.

• Sculpture of saints with atypical details.

and much more!

• We recommend that you complement this tour with a visit to the interior, since you will be able to observe all the external references that connect intramurals.
