I climbed up the Nativity Façade of La Sagrada Familia and I captured this shot on my walk down one of the spires. The vertical nature of the cathedral is definitely something to marvel at. The Nativity Façade is the more ornate side of the cathedral and the first façade to be completed under the personal supervision of Gaudí. Gaudí's original design for La Sagrada Familia calls for 18 spires and eight have been completed to-date, four on the Nativity Façade and four on the Passion Façade. Only ten more and a century left to go!
