The Best Monument of the World is in Barcelona says Tiqets
30 October, 2024The Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona, is a masterpiece of the architect Antoni Gaudí and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture. It is also the most visited monument in Spain, according to Tiqets, which has accredited it with one of its Remarkable Venue Awards 2024 (RVA), proclaiming it the Best Monument in the World.
Construction of the basilica began in 1882 and, although it is not yet finished, it is expected to be completed in 2026, coinciding with the centenary of Gaudí’s death. The building stands out for its impressive façades, each with a profound symbolism, and its towers that offer panoramic views of Barcelona. The interior, with its tree-like columns, creates an atmosphere of a sacred forest.
The Sagrada Familia is known for its unique style that combines elements of late Gothic and Catalan modernism, reflecting Gaudí’s deep religious devotion and love of nature. This monument is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Spain, attracting millions of visitors every year. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which underlines its cultural and architectural importance.
