This masterpiece by Antoni Gaudi, known as "God's Architect", is called Segrada Familia. It is a Roman Catholic Cathedral in Barcelona, Spain. It has been a work in progress with Gaudi dieing in 1926. Construction continues and is scheduled to be complete in 2026. There is nothing in the world quite like it. I am fascinated and intrigued and hope to visit someday. Gaudi designed the columns throughout to mirror trees and branches. Which is such a human thing to do. Have you ever been in a wooded area, surrounded by trees, only to experience a feeling of a holy place? Of being in a living cathedral? With the trees and branches reaching up towards the sky and clouds?..........
