Bus stop

We didn't mean to spend the whole day at Sagrada Familia but there was SO much to see and it was so awesome. We spend hours there. There wasn't much time left in the day. We could only go to one more stop.

Tortoise column

There are two tortoises at the base of columns on the Nativity facade. They represent the land and the sea. They are also symbols of time, as something set in stone and unchanging.

We were taking an audio tour while we were taking photos. That's why we're seemingly walking in circles.

The Passion Facade

This facade is carved with harsh straight lines to resemble the bones of a skeleton. Construction began in 1954 and towers were completed in 1976, and in 1987. The harsh, rigid, shadows and forms are intended to show the severity and brutality of Christ's sacrifice.
