A visit to the famed La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. This is considered to be Anotonio Gaudi’s unfinished masterpiece, a grand cathedral still under construction. This is truly one of the most wonderful pieces of architecture I have ever visited.
People will finally be able to worship in La Sagrada Familia, Antonio Gaudi’s beautiful church in Barcelona, after the Pope dedicates it this Sunday. The church has been under construction for 128 years, and will require many more years before completion.
The Barcelona Picasso Museum was donated to the city of Barcelona by the artist. He trained as an artist here, and what he experienced here opened him up for him the path that he followed in the modern art world.
The museum has a collection of works by Picasso from between 1895 and 1904, the years in which the he lived in Barcelona.
The Picasso Museum occupies five medieval palaces: Aguilar, Baró de Castellet, Meca, Casa Mauri, and Palau Finestres, which have been restored various times throughout the centuries.
Located in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona. Taking a cab is the best way to get here.
