Inside La Sagrada Familia

Every time I was in Barcelona, the long lineups to get tickets to enter La Sagrada Familia discouraged me from visiting it. On this specific trip, I was there with my mother who made a point of visiting it as she had never been there and was very interested in seeing it in person. So I bought reserved tickets online whi

#Gaudi had a vision that spaces should feel more in harmony with nature, and made heavy use of #catenary arches, designed using hanging chains.

Also, as a side effect, his designs can be used to give structural engineers a nervous breakdown.

Absolutely stunning, the picture doesn't do it justice

Breathtaking in person

@berglund interesting! Though I thought there may have been some insight here into Gaudi's perspective. I don't know enough about it, but he certainly tucked in subtle naturalistic and pluralistic elements in other parts of the design of #lasagradafamilia

"Oh, you jokers think you're good at stonework?
Ok, make me a stone violin.
Now string it.
In stone."

Do you have any idea how hard it is to build blocks crooked on purpose?

This #gaudi fellow is one to watch.

Genuine #Latin question for #scholars:

The lettering at #lasagradafamilia reads
"Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudæorum”.

Is this
"Jesus of Nazareth, king of Jews”
Or
"Jesus of Nazareth, king of the Jews”
?

It strikes me as those have very different meanings

The lettering says "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews"

But the king of the Jews must be Jewish
And a Jew cannot believe himself to be the Messiah or to be equal to god
So Jesus can't be Jewish
So he can't be our king
Check mate Jesus

I've decided that I'm a bit of a Gaudí fangirl. #LaSagradaFamilia in #Barcelona is one of my favourite places in the world and I would love to see it finished in my lifetime. The #StainedGlass is particularly stunning especially when the sun hits it in just the right way...
