Architect: Antoni Gaudí
Interior Access
Using the computer models to test Gaudi's calculations, architects have managed to create the most amazing interior based on Gaudi's sketches and models. The columns which support the room and tribunes over the aisles, begin at ground level like regular Doric columns. Their capitals are anything but traditional and sprout further to resemble skeletal trees. The roofing of the nave was only carried out in 2000.
The crypt which stretches between the Passion and Nativity facades contains a larg Gaudi Museum containing models and designs of the building. Gaudi is buried within his masterpiece, his body lies in the Chapel of El Carmen in the crypt. The catholic church is examining evidence for his beatification.
