Sagrada Familia – Barcelona – Passion Facade, the flagellation o

hamish stewart February 2, 2016 No Ccomments

Of the three planned facades of the Sagrada Familia only the Nativity facade to the east was completed during Gaudi's lifetime. Work on the passion facade commenced in the 1950s and was only completed in the late 1970s. It has an austere and stripped back design - symbolising the passion and death of Jesus. While the passion facade follows the general outlines of Gaudi's design the details - most notably the sculptures by the Catalan artist Josep Maria Subirachs - bring another layer of individual style to Gaudi's last project.
