BARCELONA - Sagrada Familia


LRecently the subject of much controversy over who should pay for its completion, Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece and the city's most outlandish landmark, the Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family, towers crazily above the grid-like streets of the Eixample. Despite being very much a building site the cathedral has a certain beauty that somehow emerges despite the omnipresent construction. The extraordinary structure has elicited cries of astonishment, awe, amusement and anger from visitors and residents alike, but remains one of the city's most visited attractions.
