【Barcelona】🇪🇸Sagrada Familia, Spain: Gaudi’s dreamy architecture, photography tips

#Literary Traveler As a literary traveler, if you ask me where my favorite architectural wonder is, I will definitely say this name without hesitation - Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, ​​Spain! This is not only a church, but also a masterpiece of the legendary architect Gaudi, a treasure trove of art full of fantasy. 💞Recommended reasons: 🎨 Gaudí and Sagrada Familia Gaudí, the magician of architecture, devoted his entire life to the construction of this church. From 1883 until his death in 1926, he continued to add innovative elements to his designs. The Sagrada Familia is the crystallization of Gaudi's love for nature and religion, and his design philosophy is perfectly embodied here. 🌟 Light and shadow magic The most stunning thing about the Sagrada Familia is the changing colors it presents at different times and in different light. The soft sunlight in the early morning, the golden afterglow in the evening, and even the gray-blue tones on a cloudy day, each type of light makes the Sagrada Familia show a different mysterious appearance. Just like Gaudi’s paintings with light and shadow, every moment is a unique work of art. 🎨 Gaudí's color philosophy Gaudí was deeply inspired by nature when he designed the Sagrada Familia. He believes that color is the language of nature and that different colors can convey specific emotions and symbolic meanings. The design of the Sagrada Familia cleverly uses light, shadow and color to create a unique visual and spiritual experience. 🌈 The symbolic meaning of colors - Blue and green: These colors are mainly used in the facade and interior decoration of the Sagrada Familia, symbolizing peace and hope. At certain times, sunlight shines through the stained glass, filling the entire space with dreamy blue-green tones, giving people a deep sense of tranquility and peace. - Red and Yellow: Red is often associated with passion and power, while yellow symbolizes light and enlightenment. At dusk, the sunlight shines through the red and yellow glass windows of the Sagrada Familia, filling the entire space with warm tones, as if being in a burning flame, inspiring the passion of faith. - White: White holds a special place in Gaudí's designs, representing purity and holiness. Many of the stone columns and sculptures inside the Sagrada Familia are white. Especially at noon, under direct sunlight, these white elements appear more holy, like a city of angels. 📍Address: Located in the heart of Barcelona: Carrer de Mallorca, 401, 08013 Barcelona, ​​Spain.

(It is recommended that you take photos as quickly as possible, because the staff on site are more strict with Asian girls. If you take photos for more than three minutes, someone will come up and tell you to stop taking photos because it affects others, so it is better to take photos as quickly as possible.) The Sagrada Familia is not just a church, it is a feast of light and color, and a beautiful poem that Gaudi left to the world.
