Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, Spain

Although the Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia (in English, Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family) saw its construction began in 1882 it is yet far from being finished (estimated to be complete around 2026). Nevertheless, the Cathedral is by far the most famous landmark of Barcelona.
Sagrada Familia's Cathedral Facade, Barcelona, SpainWork of the Catalan architect Antonio Gaudí the building is absolutely breathtaking and it has by now two of its three facades complete. The Passion facade - which I'm showing above and bellow - and the Nativity facade - which I'll save for the next post.

This squares have 310 combinations that sum 33, the age of Jesus when he died.
