Sunlight streams through the jewel-like windows of Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona.I have submitted four photos of Basilica de la Sagrada Familia (Holy Family), taken in Barcelona, April 4, 2022. Visiting this amazing -- and still unfinished -- basilica was the highlight of our spring, 2022 trans-Atlantic cruise to Spain. The basilica’s construction began in 1882. A year later, Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi began designing the “Gothic revival” edifice. Windows and artifacts in Sagrada Familia's soaring ceiling sparkle like a giant kaleidoscope. This starkly realistic detail of Sagrada Familia's exterior depicts Jesus Christ's crucifixion. Much of Sagrada Familia's stunning exterior depicts the lives of Christ and the Holy Family.
