Spring Break











La Sagrada Familia, Nativity Facade










Park Guell

I spent 7 days of spring break in the beautiful Catalan city of Barcelona. There is a huge range of architectural style in the city, from the Roman Empire to the most modern. One of the more famous modernisme architects, Antoni Gaudi has captivated me the most. I got to see an incredible amount of Gaudi's work including La Sagrada Familia, and my favorite Park Guell. La Sagrada Familia has been under construction since 1882. At first this seems like a very lengthly construction project, but when you think about it Notre Dame in Paris took roughly 100 years to complete.
