Gaudi Barcelona

By Damian Corrigan, About.com Guide

Once you have taken in La Sagrada Familia from afar, cross the street and take a closer look. The front and back of the basilica are the most impression, showing the birth and death of Christ, respectively. A third facade, The Glory Facade, is in progress and will represent the elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water.
