Barcelona's Sagrada Familia and Gaudi Sites 
Barcelona's Sagrada Familia and Gaudi Sites
Antoni Gaudi took the architectural style known as Art Nouveau a step further, even, some have argued, into absurdity.
Description
The fanciful and outrageous buildings he created in Barcelona have become landmarks, the signature attractions of this Catalan city.
Foremost is The Sagrada Família church, officially the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família or the Holy Family Church of the Atonement. One of Europe's most unconventional churches, it is also unfinished, so as you look down from its tower, you can see the work in progress below.
You may search in vain for absolute straight lines in Gaudi's Casa Milà, his last and most famous secular work; it resembles a piece of sculpture more than a functional building. Be sure to ascend to its roof - the chimneys are said to have inspired the image of Darth Vader from Star Wars.
