Pope will visit Sagrada Familia in 2010The pope will visit the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona in November 2010. The Pope is said to be especially interested in visiting the church because of Antoni Gaudìs' devotion to the family unit, which he believes is extremely important, plus the Cathedrals fame in the art and architecture worlds.

Officials are worried that the Pope´s visit may cooincide with the Spanish General Elections, however cardenal Tarcisio Bertone sees no reason why the visit should clash.

It's not good that many Catholics from Russia like to visit Spain will not be able to do this. It is a pity that get Spain visa is extremely difficult and Russian Government don't hurry support us to visit such beautiful place like Sagrada Familia.
But we do not lose hope.

Gaudí's dead

Not much people know how Gaudí died. From what it known he was hit by a tram in front of Sagrada Familia when he crossed the street aiming to go to the construction side of his masterpiece.

He lay in the hospital "Hospital de la Santa Creu", but people didn't recognise the famous artist because of his neglected appereance.

Only three days later, a friend of him found him in this hospital and asked for a private room for him. The same day, 10 July 1926 he died. 

He was buried in the midst of La Sagrada Família.
