Nativity facade — Nativity facade

This façade was the first to be completed (1894-1930) and depicts scenes the birth of Jesus Christ and scenes from His life. You can see the style is way different than the Passion side, not as severe.

The Passion Façade — The Passion Façade

This side is very harsh and angular. It depicts Jesus' last night before the crucifixion, the crucifixion and the ascension. You can see part of it to the right was under construction.

Ongoing construction — Ongoing construction

Constuction started in 1882 and has continued since then. It was interrupted for the SPanish Civil War and relies in private donations. It has progressed very slowly. I did read that they have begun the final phase of construstion. Hopefully finishing in 2030 or 2032.
