The Sagrada Família is a church like no other. Outside, your guide will show you the ornate sculptures carved into the basilica's four façades and explain their meaning.
Step inside, and you're transported into a stone forest with towering columns as trees, a vaulted ceiling as the sky, and different shades of light filtering through the stained glass windows. Your guide will share the innovative techniques Gaudí used to bring his vision to life and why they were so revolutionary over 100 years ago — and still remain so unusual today.
Throughout your tour, your guide will share stories and the details not to miss.
Afterward, we recommend a visit to the museum below the basilica to see the original scale models and sketches of the basilica. Your guide will tell you what to look for.

The Nativity Façade The place where the origins of both the basilica and the Holy Family are found. Here, you’ll explore the beginnings of this monumental project. Stained Glass Features Inside the central body of the basilica the stained glass windows flood the building in a rainbow of light. The Central Aisle Gaudí’s legendary “forest of stone” carries the dome above in the world’s largest inner church structure. The Passion Façade Laced in symbolism and codes to unravel, this is the West-facing side of the church where the story of the death of Christ is explored. The School This old schoolhouse was attended by generations of workers who have dedicated their lives to this architectural treasure. The Museum An underground path leads to the museum where you will get a glimpse into Gaudí’s office and gain insight into how he was inspired to design the Sagrada Família.
