This is the Temple de la Sagrada Familia (Temple of the Holy Family) in Barcelona.  It was something I wanted to see ever since I saw it on TV during the Barcelona Olympics.  Since it is one of the things I most wanted to see, I have the most pics of it.  It has been in the process of being built since 1882.  Here you see a view into the interior.  You see 4 of an eventual 12 vaults that will represent the Apostles.  There will be 5 central vaults representing Mary, and the 4 Evangelists.  In the center will be a 600 foot tower representing Christ. Some of the pics I lost were from the towers.  We got to climb up, take the bridge connecting the middle two across in the open air, then go up even higher.  There was a great view of the city.  These towers are 300 feet high.  I got to go about 250 feet up.

Sorry about the quality of this pic.  The postcards you can buy are so much better than pics I can take.  For some reason this postcard scanned poorly. 

The facade dedicated to the crucifiction.  Another one will be for His birth, one for His resurrection, and sorry to say I can't remember what the fourth will be.
