Sagrada Familia is a temple in Barcelona, created by the efforts of a brilliant architect, Antonio Gaudi. Since this is an active Catholic temple, it has an alternative Christian name - the Atonement Temple of the Holy Family. In Russia, you can find the wrong translation of this name - the Holy Family Cathedral. However, the cathedral is called only the main temple of the city, in Barcelona there is such a temple, and this is not the Sagrada Familia.
Despite the fact that this is a temple, it is possible to get into it not only at Mass (due to historical importance and popularity, it is difficult to put it mildly, but still), but also within the framework of the excursion. By the way, excursions and tickets without a queue are one of the features that make this temple more popular among tourists compared to other temples. The fact is that a guided tour is conducted for a very large number of tourists at a time, so there is enough space for everyone and always.
Now back to the temple, it has one drawback. It wasn’t finished when its architect died, it was only 25 percent complete, but after centuries of work, it came to its end, despite many protests by people who consider this blasphemy and disrespect to the author of the idea, Antonio Gaudi, saying that this is almost the completed temple has almost nothing to do with what he originally planned to build. Nevertheless, work continues, albeit slowly, because the source of funding for this work is donations from parishioners, albeit from around the world.
And there is no doubt that when this temple is completed, it will increase its popularity at times.
