Itinerary and highlights
The Sagrada Família’s tallest tower will be one meter shorter than Barcelona’s nearby mountain—because Gaudí believed “nothing man-made should surpass God’s creation.”
The stained glass isn’t random—each color palette shifts with the sun’s path to bathe the interior in ever-changing light.
