Explore the architectural and symbolic wonders of the Sagrada Família through its three magnificent façades: the Nativity façade, full of life and intricate detail, celebrating the birth of Christ; the Passion façade, austere and dramatic, depicting Jesus' suffering and crucifixion with extraordinary intensity; and the Glory façade, still under construction, destined to be the most imposing, symbolizing the path to salvation. Each façade tells a unique chapter of Christian history, combining Gaudi's visionary genius with deep spiritual meaning.

Detailed itinerary
1
Discover the Nativity Façade, the oldest part of the Sagrada Familia — a celebration of life and rich religious symbolism.
2
Discover the Passion Façade, the stark and dramatic opposite of the Nativity Façade — built between 1954 and the 1970s, it embodies suffering and sacrifice in a stripped-down, austere style.
3
Discover the Glory Façade, the last and most monumental of the three — still under construction and destined to become the centerpiece of the entire basilica.
4
Reach Plaça de Gaudí, where you can enjoy a different perspective of the Sagrada Família, relax by the small lake, and capture a great photo.
