Landmark
The Sagrada Família has been under construction since 1882 and remains Antoni Gaudí's defining, unfinished masterpiece — a building where columns branch like trees to hold up a ceiling meant to evoke a forest canopy, and where stained glass floods the nave with color that shifts through the day. This guided version adds tower access, letting visitors ride the lift partway up one of the spires for views over the Eixample grid and a closer look at the mosaic-covered pinnacles that are invisible from ground level. Scoring a maximum 100 on both must-see and culture, it's the kind of landmark that anchors a first visit to Barcelona regardless of prior interest in architecture, and a guide's context on Gaudí's symbolism — the Nativity and Passion façades, the geometry drawn from nature — adds real depth to what can otherwise feel overwhelming. The expensive price and multiple daily departures reflect steady, high demand.
