Inverted Shell

The spiral staircase in the Passion Tower of the Sagrada Família, Barcelona Spain.

 

The staircase is notable for its unique, organic form that mimics natural snail-shell shapes, and its symbolic meaning.

 

The narrow and dramatic descent staircase appears to spiral infinitely downward when viewed from above. Its central void creates an optical illusion of depth and a dizzying visual effect.
