SAGRADA FAMILIA (Barcelona) | Full tour in 4K (exterior + interior)

Join me on a tour in 4K of the world-famous Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. Designed by the legendary architect Antoni Gaudi, the unfinished basilica is one of the world's largest and most spectacular churches.The Sagrada Familia: a unique basilica in the world! Designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, this colossal basilica is located in the heart of Barcelona. Construction began in 1882 and is due to be completed in 2026. The Sagrada Familia will then be the tallest basilica in the world. Its dimensions will be gigantic: as long as a football stadium, it will rise to 172.5 m – 35 m higher than St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and 103 m higher than Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris! The Sagrada Familia, consecrated in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI, is a true architectural, technical and human adventure... A monument that is both fascinating and disconcerting, all the more surprising since almost all of Gaudi's original drawings and plans disappeared in 1936, during the civil war. Today's builders are nevertheless trying to remain faithful to the initial project, of which some vestiges remain. Journey to the heart of an exceptional construction site...
Jordi Fauli is the chief architect. A heavy responsibility! He takes us to the heart of the construction site, to the very place where the Tower of Christ will stand, the highest tower of the basilica, which will dominate the entire city. With him, we also discover the architecture of the basilica. Gaudi created new shapes and structures to support the building. Result: the Sagrada Familia is not only immense but also flooded with light!
Feliu Martin, head of the stonemason's workshop, feels real pride in working on the Sagrada Familia, because the stonemasonry technique is unique here. Feliu makes us admire the surprising geometry of the place: the parabolic bell towers, the hyperbola windows... So many complex shapes designed by Gaudi, in a constant search for new beauty, elevation and harmony.
Finally, Etsuro Sotoo, an artist of Japanese origin, will also surprise us. He is in charge of the sculpture workshop. For 36 years, he has devoted his life, and his art, to the Sagrada Familia. Fascinated by Gaudi's work, he tries to remain in harmony with his work. We follow him to the heights of the basilica, to discover the sculptures covered in varnished and colored mosaics. A technique much appreciated by Gaudi. Loli Toribio has lived opposite the Sagrada Familia for over 80 years. She shows us, with pride and emotion, the exceptional view of this more than century-old construction site that has fascinated her since her childhood.
