Your route
Your tour, stop by stop
Explore the stops below. Select a number to connect the route with its story.
Begin with an introduction to Gaudí and the guided route. The exact meeting point remains to be confirmed.
Begin with birth: discover how the Nativity façade celebrates the arrival of Jesus through sculpted scenes, plants and animals. Your guide connects these details to Gaudí’s architecture and the history of the basilica.
Birth and death are only part of Gaudí’s plan. What did he want the Glory façade to reveal? Pause on this side of the basilica and let your guide uncover the symbolism and the question that connects the three façades.
Finish with the Passion and death of Jesus. The angular figures and spare surfaces create a powerful contrast with the Nativity. Discover Subirachs’s magic square and why the number 33 matters in this final chapter.
