On Wednesday, May 26th, we purchased tickets to ride the Barcelona Bus Turistic which is another double decker bus that stops at all the sites around the city. We knew there was a lot to see here so we tried to pick wisely knowing that we wouldn't be able to see everything. The first thing and probably the most famous thing we saw was the Sagrada Familia.
The Sagrada Familia is a chruch that was designed by Antoni Gaudi. The building of the church started in 1882 and is scheduled to be completed in 2030. There is a lot of construction going on both inside and outside the church. The church is incredibly beautiful but trying to take a tour of it was nearly impossible because of all the noise from construction inside. I took a lot of pictures of the building inside and out and I'd love to go back someday when it's completely finished because I know it will be so beautiful.
Here are pictures of the outside of the Sagrada Familia. The first two are from the Passion Facade of the church and the second two are of the Nativity Facade.
Here are some pictures from the inside of the Sagrada Familia. Notice all of the construction workers around. It was very loud inside but really beautiful as well.
Outside the Sagrada Familia was an old school house that we toured.
After we toured the Sagrada Familia we walked to a nearby hospital that was supposed to be really old and beautiful. It wasn't too far and when we got there we were pleasantly surprised. It was so pretty.
This is mainly what we did that day. We walked around the city and explored some more but unfortunately didn't take any pictures.
