Tivémos a sorte de visitar o seu interior depois de ter sido completado pela data da visita do Papa Bento XVI á cidade. Apesar de achar o projecto de Gaudí uma obra extraordinária, parece que com a construção nova versus a antiga torna tudo menos harmonioso mas o interior, para mim já é outra conversa, parece que caímos num buraco e entrámos no País das Maravilhas ou num bosque encantado.
We were lucky to visit it’s interior after being completed in time for the visit to Barcelona of the Pope Benedict XVI. Although I do think Gaudí’s project an extraordinary work, it looks like the new construction versus the old makes everything less harmonious but the interior, is a different thing, looks like you fell into a hole and entered the Wonderland or some enchanted woods.
Logo quando entramos somos invadidos pelas suas formas inspiradas pela natureza, pela imensa luz que entra pelas várias janelas sem esquecer o grande arco-íris proporcionado pelos vitrais.
Ao centro do altar temos Jesus Cristo na cruz, por baixo de um original dossel, ornado com uvas, parra e espigas. O que é ainda mais interessante é que o dossel está suspenso quando normalmente está acente no chão com quatro pilares.
As soon as we get in we aree overwhelmed by the shapes inspired by nature, the immense light that enters through various windows without forgetting the great rainbow provided by the stained glass.
At the center of the altar we have Jesus Christ on the cross, under an original canopy, adorned with grapes, vine and spikes. What is even more interesting is that the canopy is suspended when it’s usually in the ground with four pillars.

Quer se goste ou não, é impossível ficar-lhe indiferente, impossível não abrir a boca ao entrar. Não há no mundo nenhuma Catedral ou Basílica como esta e talvez nenhuma tão envolta em polémica. O seu interior abre ao público mais de oitenta anos depois da morte de Antoni Gaudí, uns discutem que é fiel ao que o arquitecto pretendia outros defendem que ele ia improvisando deixando-se inspirar por novas formas, materiais, etc..
No museu podemos ver que há uma aproximação aos planos originais do arquitecto que deixou maquetas.
A mim fascinou-me a luz, as cores, a devoção colocada em cada detalhe, o coro que parece uma águia e a cúpula junto ao altar.
Love or hate it, it’s impossible to remain indifferent, impossible not to open your mouth when you get in. There is no other Cathedral or Basilica like this in the world and perhaps none so controversial. The interior opened to the public more than eighty years after the death of Antoni Gaudí, some argue that it’s true to what the architect wanted others argue that he was improvising letting himself be inspired by new shapes, materials, etc..
In the museum we can see that from the models the architect left they are close to what we see now.
I was fascinated by the light, the colors, the devotion put into every detail, the chorus that seems like an eagle and the dome close to the altar.
