Sagrada Familia by Victoria
The most magnificent building Gaudi ever created was by far the Sagrada Familia. Towering over at 343 feet this gigantic building is the first thing a incoming sailor will see. On the outside of the Sagrada Familia you can see the walls decorated with sculpted plants and animals. The giant bell towers loom over head they are decorated with ceramic tile pieces and are the crown of the Sagrada Familia. If you want to wait 3 hours you can climb the 430 stairs up the top of the highest bell tower. We decided not to go, it was not motivating me to climb the stairs.
The inside of the church looked like a magical forest with magical creatures hiding high up in the trees where they can not be seen. It would be great inspiration for a book. Maybe my teacher will assign me a writing lesson on writing a story that involves this enchanted forest.
How marvelous! I love how the rock (limestone? granite?) is sculpted with scallops of sorts. Churches are meant to be places where you feel closest to God, and you certainly feel as though you're in heaven when you look up at that ceiling. Simply stunning. I'd like to see a few photos of the sculpted animals and plants. Breathtaking! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou're right V, that church is amazing. Yes, I think you should write a story that takes place in the church. It's eerie and beautiful all at once.
