Sagrada Familia - What the final stages of construction will look

 The foundation responsible for the construction of the  famous Sagrada Família church in Barcelona recently  released a video depicting what the final stages of  construction will look like as nearly 150 years of  building (and delays) finally wraps up in 2026. The  breathtaking clip combines footage shot from a  helicopter with computer-animated renderings to show  what the basilica, designed by Antoni Gaudí, will look  like. The structure is said to be “the most  extraordinary  personal interpretation of Gothic  architecture since the Middle Ages.”

The 2nd best thing to do in Barcelona - Casa Mila

Come along to one of the most remarkable works of Antoni Gaudí!

City Centre Retreat recommend Casa Mila or La Pedrera (stone quarry in Catalan) was built between 1905 and 1910 and was declared an UNESCO World Heritage landmark in 1984. Casa Mila is definitely one of the most remarkable works of Antoni Gaudí. The eccentric design is taken from his own designs, as well as from nature. Along the outside the irregular balconies give the impression of a series of waves. The upper floor, the attic and the extraordinary rooftop are open to visitors. Drawings, models, photographs and videos are used to portray the life of the great Gaudí, his historical and cultural context, and the artistic values and technical innovation in his work.
