Basilica of the Sagrada Familia

The Basilica of the Sagrada Familia is a monumental church devoted to the Holy Family: Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Construction began in 1882, based on plans drawn up by the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, and Antoni Gaudi was commissioned to continue the project in 1883. The Temple has always been an expiatory church, built only from donations. As Gaudi said: "The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia is made by the people and is mirrored in them. It is a work that is in the hands of God and the will of the people." In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the site as a minor basilica

Amfiteatre de Tarragona

Reviewed By Vic_VDB - Tamworth, United Kingdom

The sun shone, the sea sparkled and the place stunned with its size, history and amazingly well preserved site. It’s one of the most stunning things I’ve seen and the churches that followed on this Roman site only added to the whole experience. You can buy a multi-site ticket for this and many other Roman sites for what I think is a paltry sum for and immense experience. Well worth a visit
