According to comprehensive news from WorldWay Investment: Barcelona is the most avant-garde city in all of Spain, just a two-hour flight from London. The must-visit site is not the bloody bullfighting arena, but the architectural landmark "Sagrada Familia", which is the dream of a bookstore owner to build a private church dedicated to the Holy Family, including Jesus, Saint Joseph, and the Virgin Mary. The first challenge encountered was the difficulty in finding suitable land, and ultimately, due to the high cost of land, the site was chosen in the suburbs.
Upon seeing "Sagrada Familia", one truly realizes that geniuses exist in this world. It consists of eighteen towers and three facades, with each outer facade having four towers, reaching a height of 94 meters; the inner circle has four towers of 107 meters high, with two even taller towers in the center representing the Virgin Mary and Jesus, resembling a forest of stone pillars, solemn, intricate, and beautiful.
What can be seen on-site is that large-scale construction work is still ongoing, while the main structure has been completed, and the remaining decorative parts are expected to be finished by 2020. Today, locals actively encourage travelers to visit, as ticket sales and souvenirs support the "Sagrada Familia"; the lines of tourists tightly surround the outer walls, all coming to pay homage.
Walking along the most popular shopping street, La Rambla, at the end stands a 60-meter-high Columbus Monument, where he stands at the top of the column, pointing with his right hand towards the Americas and holding a pipe in his left hand; this is the very spot where this Spanish navigator first landed after returning from the Americas.
