Passion Façade by Gaudí. Sagrada Família (Barcelona)

Facing the city centre, the façade of the Passion is recently built. Oriented towards the West, it represents the passion and death of Christ. In accordance with this, this façade has an austere appearance, with geometric shapes on the edge.

The sobriety of the façade is manifested by columns in the form of bones and the sober sculptures that have been made by Josep Maria Subirachs adding dramatic to Gaudí's intentional sad design.

Overall, the set respects the initial project of Gaudí, but the details are adapted to modern aesthetics. In this regard, the symbolic iconography of Subirachs represents a total break with the figurative concept of the opposite facade (of the Birth).
