When we were in Spain, we went to the incredible cathedral called the Sagrada Famila. The Sagrada Famila was built in 1882. There are still parts that have not been finished and have been added on throughout the years.
The estimate finish of the entire thing is from 2026-2028 (that is 132 years after it was first started to be built) In between those two (2026-2028) years everything would have been built from the original model built by the architect, Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi's saying was "there is no straight lines in nature", my family went inside and looked around. We were all stunned with all the color and the way it looked, I thought it looks like what a cathedral would look like in the future, but this was built more then 100 years ago. One of the most amazing things about the inside is the roof it was so cool how he made bricks and green paint and made it look like sparkly stems of leafs.
Inside Guadi was trying make it look like a forest canapy with beams acting as trees and sparkly green stuff acting like stems and leafs. The thing that most amazed me was that Gaudi was able to distribute the weight of the roof on to the beams so that he could do what ever he wanted to the walls with out it coming down.
Another really cool part was the 2 different types of art work on the outside. On one side there were curvy lines and no straight lines and those were done by Gaudi.
The other side had straight and pointy lines and they were done by a man named Domenec Sugranes. Apparently, he didn't get the memo about how to build on Gaudi's church!
If you ever get a chance to come to Barcelona, I highly recommend going to the Sagrada Familia.

I've seen lots of pictures of the outside of that but hadn't seen the inside before... it looks really pretty.
