Portals, La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona

One of my favorite buildings in the world is La Sagrada Familia.  In today’s post I thought I’d share photos of some of the doors and entrances to this beautiful (still unfinished) cathedral.

The photo above features what will be the cathedral’s main entry when the building is completed, and is known as the Doorway of Majesty.

The first completed entrance to the cathedral was themed after the Nativity, and the doors at this entrance show some imaginative details:

Even this more traditional cathedral entrance has an interesting skylight feature….

Inside the cathedral we spotted this metal door, with small stairway climbing to the choir.

The Passion doorways are more modern and abstract. All in all, the portals of the church reflect the gifts and genius of the man who designed and created them.
