The following photos are of the Sagrada Familia (“Sacred Family”), a cathedral that is under construction in Barcelona. It is truly unlike any other cathedral, and when completed is destined to be a major world landmark. It was designed by famed Spanish artist Antoni Gaudí. It combines the traditional concept of a sacred cathedral with bold, modernist art.
