Sagrada Familia

The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain was designed by Antoni Gaudi.  Although still incomplete (as seen by the cranes in the backgrounds), the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Construction began in 1882, Gaudi became involved in 1883, and anticipated completion (still committed to his design) is 2026, the centennial of Gaudi's death.

I've been hesitating to post these pictures because every time I revisit them, I don't feel like the images capture its essence.  The sheer enormity and detail of both the exterior and interior was overwhelming.
It was difficult to take it all in...an absolute "must see"... (more to follow).
