#sagradafamilia #barcelona #spain Each tourist Mecca, where thousands of curious pilgrims from all over the world flock every year, has its own associative building-business card. This is the main attraction, which is a must-see for every foreign tourist, and without which it is already impossible to imagine a particular country or city. Thus, at the mere mention of Paris, the image of the Eiffel Tower immediately pops up, at the sight of the image of the Statue of Liberty, the letters USA flash in the mind, and the icon of the Cheops pyramid can easily replace the name of Egypt on a geographical map. However, perhaps no other country in the world has such a specific feature that distinguishes the business card of the Spanish city of Barcelona from other world-famous buildings. We are, of course, talking about the famous work of the great architect Gaudi, the Sagrada Familia Cathedral. The architectural narrative of this author stretches as a chain of contributions to construction from his followers to our contemporaries. It breathes an echo of the past, keeping in its walls the memories of past historical events, and sounds in unison with today's 21st century. The Sagrada Familia Cathedral is a truly unique architectural phenomenon, it is a bridge that has connected generations, eras and has given an exceptional opportunity not only to touch history, but also to join in its creation. Over the course of a century and a half, the structure has been built, grown, and changed. And this is the only case in the history of architecture when a long-term construction project has such colossal worldwide fame, is a source of attraction for millions of tourists and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
