Discover the Sagrada Familia from within, where light, architecture and symbology merge into a unique experience. In this guided tour we will explore the interior of the most iconic basilica in Barcelona, revealing the secrets of its design and history. We will enter through the facade of the Birth into a stone forest, with columns imitating trees and stained glass windows that stain the environment with colors. Gaudí was inspired by nature, and here every detail has a meaning.
During the visit, we will talk about hidden symbols: turtles in columns, numerical grids numbering 33 and messages on the ceiling. We will also see the sober and dramatic Facade of the Passion, which chronicles the last days of Jesus, with controversial details such as the self-portrait of the sculptor as Pontius Pilate.
We will end up in the museum, with original sketches, models and photos of Gaudí. More than 140 years later, his work is still alive... but the tour does come to an end.
What's Included
