The Sagrada Familia Basilica was also designed by Gaudí. Except he died 90 years ago, his plans were destroyed during the war, and it’s not even close to being finished.
It looks like what you’d expect if there was a Basilica in Disneyland, overly elaborate and colourful and fake.
The top has a lot of grapes.
And wheaty bits.
These are actually supposed to represent wine.
And wheat for communion crackers.
But that doesn’t explain the other fruity bits.
And boy were there ever a lot of fruity bits.
Gaudí was very devout, but the guy who took over for him seems to think Jesus was a short-haired punk and a bit of a blockhead.
Though not as much of a blockhead as Thomas.
This is the other side, some of which vvas actually done by Gaudí.
It shows the nativity with some rather aggressive farm animals.
And a forest of leaves.
Filled with butterflies and other creepy crawlies.
And gigantic ants.
And ugly spiders.
And snails. All to put you in the mood for church.
