About La Sagrada Familia Cathedral

The great temple of atonement.In 1883 the brilliant architect Gaudí agreed to take on this project, succeeding Francisco de Paula. The artist worked on it until his death.Work to complete this great church still continues today. The first architect to work on this project originally planned a Neogothic building. However, following his death, Gaudí took over, and while conserving the original layout he soon left his own personal imprint and distinctive style on the building. He finished only the chapel of San José, the crypt and the door of El Nacimiento. The façades and the entire exterior have a great profusion of decorative elements in bright colours. There is a cryptogram over the La Pasión door.
