I really love St Grada Familia, such a unique cathedral!
Wow... The outside looks like a Beksinski painting.
I got some weird reverse vertigo looking up from the inside when I was there, it was insanely high. Incredible place though.
Just, don't play the organ while you're there.
Is it not voiced for it? Last time I checked, they just had a small portable organ instead of a large installed one.
Am I the only one who thinks the outside is really really ugly
Specifically, this is Eixample
The roads in the old city are much more chaotic.
That aerial view is wild.
I grew up in the middle of nowhere USA, in a place where my nearest neighbor was a mile away.
Will images like this ever not give me massive anxiety?
This city was designed in the NES version of SimCity.
it's a beautiful city, but those crosswalks are so annoying
Why are there two streets running against the grid?
From Cities Skylines experience it's usually to relieve traffic blocks by providing a direct path to areas/landmarks that have a higher than average traffic load. Not sure why they did it though.
I can't tell if they are actual streets, pedestrian-only areas, or bus loading/unloading zones. There look to be structures along them that could be market booths or buses.
That's if you mean the two blocks with the diagonals going through them. If you mean the one in the back that's slightly off-angle from the grid, my guess for that is that the road existed before the modern city did and wasn't removed to create the grid. Or it might be a rail line.
City planners: hnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggg
Is this the whole city or just the same poster neighborhood again and again? I can't imagine the ancients having the same building codes for wage earners as they do now.
This is only Eixample, the entire city does not look like this.
where are the trees?
Anyone else, for a split second, have the wrong perspective and see a weird tower with futuristic space-castle on top of it?
I do now!

Bobby: Where you going?
April: Barcelona.
It’s certainly unique and all, but a little too “samey” for my liking.
I've been there exactly once in my life.
We were going to a place, which we could see in the distance, so we decided to walk there.
Half an hour walking later the place seemed to still be exactly as far away as when we started and our sense of reality was eroding significantly.
Like others have said, not the whole place is like that, but man, it IS kinda weird.
Too samey and zero trees. I would go crazy without trees and grass!
Yeah exactly! The designer tried so hard to make it efficient or whatever, but didn’t balance it with nature…
There are parts of the city that are nowhere near as 'blocky' as this
Without question, my favorite city of all time. 🥰🔥
I want to go to Barthelona

Hoooow can I forget?
The church built 141 years ago makes everything around it boring and droll. Why don't we design and build amazing architecture any more?
