Un bosc de palmeres / A palmtree forest

Vista de la nau central i lateral des del creuer de la Sagrada Família. Tota aquesta part, un cop estigui realment acabada, perdrà una mica de lluminositat però guanyarà en colors pels vitralls multicolors que encara hi falten.

 

La Sagrada Família per fí té un interior acabat: és una meravella, el fruit del geni únic d'Antoni Gaudí. Falten les paraules per descriure-ho.

======================================================================

 

A view of the main and left-side naves of the Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona. The columns divide like tree branches, in a perfect equilibrium designed by Antoni Gaudí. All this beauty it's also a geometrical marvel.

 

The catalan basilica of La Sagrada Família (The Holy Family) is THE global icon of Barcelona. After more than a century building it (contruction work began in 1882), in 2011 the interior was finished and consecrated by the pope Benedict XVI. It's an incredible structure, fruit of the unique mind of Antoni Gaudí. The ceilings look like a spaceship, and the nave and columns, like a palmtree forest. Work began in 1882 and should be completed in 2026, like the medieval cathedrals of old.

 

I'm sure JRR Tolkien whould have loved this!
