Sagrada Familia: staircase to… heaven?


One fine spiral staircase, if I ever saw one! But wait… What could entice an adventurous mind more than a staircase to… where? Heaven? But no. Access forbidden. What a shame! But this makes it mysterious, and this is… nice. What might there be up there, in this place so different from any other churches?

  3. On Ascension Day I climbed a similar staircase up the tower of the Russian monastery of the Ascension (the landmark on the Mt. of Olives) and thought of this photo of yours.

    A pity that Gaudi himself didn't do the design of this stair. What a spectacle that would be.Still this one is also great. Thanks for showing.

  8. Excellent. Tant que ce n'est pas ascenseur pour l'échafaud, ça ne peut être que bien ! 🙂

  10. An amazing vision of Gaudi and it looks to be right out of a fairytale… The spires are stunning and what a treasure hunt to find all the symbolic details.

    Love this shot!
