What's your favorite Gaudí building?

Once on holiday I visited the Sagrada Familia and the Casa Milo, although La Sagrada Familia is by far my most favourite piece of architecture on earth, Casa Milo was also a great visit with its interesting roof design made out of bricks. I would love a video of yours concerning this other creation of Antoni Gaudi. If you haven´t been there already, go see it, I can recommend it very much :)
I really like the passion facade, the style of the scultures is simple but highly descriptive at the same time!
Great work Signor Bravo.
Obviously, Sagrada Familia
It’s crazy to think They started building the Sagrada Familia in the late 1800’s. Gaudi was way ahead of his time, this building looks like it could’ve started construction in 2100. It’s amazing what faith can compel humanity to create.
The cathedral is indeed unique. From afar, it looks like just another Gothic architecture. But up close, it looks like organic being.. like.. underwater reefs.
Frank Lloyd plagiarized the organic architectural concept from it. Americans do not know it
It's not a cathedral.
lol what, it looks 0 Gothic from any perspective
@@m.sanchez9902 From afar, the silhouette looks like a gothic cathedral dude. No Romance/Baroque cathedral looks like that
@@Etendard1708it doesnt have to be one of the existing styles. It neither looks gothic at all.
I visited La Sagrada Familia in 2018. Everyone should put this on their bucket list. It changes you. Also, Barcelona is just an amazing city and all Gaudi's work there is worth seeing in person.
Barcelona nowadays is a hellscape
Just back from 4 days in Barcelona. Probably the best city I've ever been to.
@@barrygreene007 I recently visited as well in September it is hands down the most well designed city I've ever been too. How connected everything is to all citizens is incredible, and how beautiful the architecture is on top of that is astounding. The old gothic quarter mixed with the modern grid blocks and classic facades makes for a unique experience. Plus the pharmacies there don't cost an arm and a leg unlike back in the states 🥲
True. I've been there three times, seeing the cathedral in different progressing states of construction. Breathtaking every time.
Please stay away, there's to many tourists as is.
One doesn't need to be Christian or even religious at all to appreciate the mastery of Gaudi. It is incredibly inspirational and I can't wait to return in 2026 (or 2027) after originally visiting in 2013. Thank you for this wonderful tour and progress update.
It was his faith on Christ, by being a Catholic Christian which inspired Gaudi to design this marvel.
You are missing out in God and the awesomeness you will never know away from him.
You will never get that inspiration, no matter how good your Eurythmics might be!!! Sorry
@@dvdortiz9031 It’s unfortunate your parents have left you with access to the internet. Your comments have just broadcast to the world that you have absolutely no idea what your writing about.
I'm proud being Christian though. So what?
This is the most beautiful building in the world for me. I visited Barcelona only once, but I will never forget seeing the cathedral for the first... I have wonderful memories there
A true masterpiece in one of the world's most beautiful cities. It is truly awe inspiring at every level.
A true masterpiece? thanks for the laugh.
@@starcapture3040 let us see your work. Surely, it’s better than this, right?
@@henrykai777 in millions of time better
@@starcapture3040 cool bro
@@starcapture3040 envy or inept?
A brilliant and eloquent tour and explenation of the cathedral. Thank you!
FYI, it is not a cathedral, it is a temple, church, in any European city there are many churches but only one cathedral and the one in Barcelona is located on the gothic quarter
I've been to Barcelona twice and taken a tour of La Sagrada Familia each time. I am not the least bit religious, but Gaudi's vision is impressive and inspiring. This church is definitely a must see.... I tis somewhat a shame that the exterior of this exceptional structure has been encroached upon by the surrounding buildings of the city. It should sit by itself so that people can get the best view of the structure.
The church is in the middle of a city on purpose. It is part of the community. The community lives in the buildings around it.
It was meant to be even more central to Barcelona, but the city came to it instead.
@@hylje When the church was begun, it was surrounded by open ground. The city had not pushed up to the church borders. Barcelona is much larger now than it was in the 1880s. A gorgeous structure like this should not be swallowed up by other buildings.
@@tommonk7651 what's the point of a huge ass church when it's not gonna be used by anyone or seen by anyone specifically not going to visit it
@@ThinkAboutVic Well, I'm an atheist. I've been to Barcelona twice and visited it twice. If I ever go back, I will visit it again. It's an incredible building. Lines to get in are loooong. Say one thing for the Catholic church, they some impressive edifices.
@@ThinkAboutVic You appear to have problems with spelling and sentence structure, but, as far as I can tell, you are asking a question based upon a false premise. Of course, it will be used. I am not Roman Catholic, and I know that Spain is a divided society with a large proportion of the population militantly aetheist and/or militantly anti-Catholic. That said, there are millions of Catholics in Spain and hundreds of millions across the World. Many of the faithful will visit La Sagrada Familia, not as tourists but by way of pilgrimage. Many services are held there, even today whilst construction continues. The number of services will increase as construction nears its' end. It WILL, therefore, be USED by large numbers of the faithful and will be SEEN by many more. Read the comments by those, many of them tourists ticking down the "things to do" list, who say that they were, many of them unexpectedly, I am sure, INSPIRED. Huge numbers of tourists are and will continue to flock there making La Sagrada Familia a nice little earner for the Roman Catholic Church.
A little piece of advice. People will have more respect for your arguements if you express yourself without the Beavis and Butt-Head vulgarity.
Your presentation was simply wonderful, thank you so much for this!
Anyone intending to visit La Sagrada Familia ought to view this video a few times. It just might help in acquiring a perspective on one of the most awe-inspiring architectural masterpieces I have ever seen. Even after seeing this video, let me assure, visiting the 'Temple' would still be a jaw-dropping experience.
I got the chance to see this masterpiece this summer. Stunning. You walk around and no matter how loud the crowds are the rainbow lights and the structure just make you zone out of it all and make you just stand there in awe. It’s amazing.
This is the first time I have seen the beautiful nature of this facility captured in a presentation.
This is unbelievable work of art... A great feat achieved by human being.
Inspired for the Glory of God the Creator that gave us creativity to mimmick him!!!
I visited Barcelona and La Sagrada familia in July of last year. I still to this day think about the beauty and details that have so much meaning. I always go back to the pictures I took and analyze the details. You will always find something new. I remember the feeling of being inside La Sagrada Familia and not wanting to leave. I am not a super religious person but this place definitely ignited the spiritual part in me. 🙌
I’m going to Barcelona in October and have watched a huge amount of travel videos and Sagrada Tour Videos. I can say this is 100% the BEST one I’ve ever seen. So complete with information on this incredible church/temple. Thanks so much.
I visited the Sagrada in 1997. It is on top of my bucket list to see it completed. Gaudi is my favorite architect of all times.
You did a wonderful job, Manuel. I visited the Temple about 15 years ago but didn't learn as much about it as you provided here. It's a magnificent place.
This architecture is so inspiring! (You really did your research). Thank you.
The brilliance of your description and evaluation is unmatched by anyone else. I really learn from and appreciate your work.
This was so beautifully done. The best video I have ever seen explaining La Sagrada Familia. Thank you!
This was by far the most detailed and informative video I've seen on the architecture and symbolism of the Sagrada Familia. Well done.
Hola Manuel, ¡Menudo reportaje! Visité la Sagrada Familia hace bastantes años y veo que se han realizado numerosos progresos. Gracias por un vídeo tremendamente didáctico y con tanta atención al detalle. Esperemos poder verla terminada. Enhorabuena.
This is a much-beloved continuing achievement, and from afar (west coast of Canada), this is a magnificence smiling to life. Bravo!💐
Otro videazo! Buen trabajo como siempre!
Very well done!
I follow the progress of la sagrada since I have been in Barcelona for the first time in my live 1989.
Then 1996.
Now after 26 years it‘s damn time to go back!
Think you made me!
Thanks for reminding me what an extremly excellent and foresighted architect Gaudi was!
Brilliant presentation!
Thank you!👌🏻👍🏻😁
This is one of the best videos I've seen about Sagrada Familia
Manuel, this really is the best video on the subject. Splendid job!
Thank you very much. This video is exactly what I need. Other videos only talk about the construction.
Your video is the first one I found that explains the meaning of each detail.
well put together video! you are so knowledgeable of it's extensive history- i learned so much, can't wait to visit someday!
Manuel that was truly a breathtaking documentary. You are a gifted young man. God bless
A very well made and explained documentary, Manuel. Bravo!!!!
Bravo Manuel for your extremely good work and phonetics to show us this Sagrada Familia Gaudí masterpiece.
Very interesting and well rounded video - thank you so much Manuel.
Great video! Some extra reading: it's true that Gaudi knew he would not see the building completed in his lifetime, which is why he left lots of drawings and models for reference. But on July 18 1936 during the Spanish civil war, a gang of radicals broke in and destroyed virtually all of Gaudi's work, along with a failed attempt to bomb the Nativity facade. The continuation of it's construction was debated following the end of the war, ultimately deciding to proceed. Much of the building was designed by students of Gaudi and what knowledge was left in the rubble, with the Passion facade being completed in the 1970s. Architect Mark Burry studied Gaudi in Barcelona and designed the interior in the 90s using aeronautcal engineering software
Podcast 99% Invisible have a great episode all about Gaudi's life and the Sagrada Familia, definetely worth a listen :)
It's really sad that many of the people specially young which were born and raised in Barcelona, did not visit this wonder even living beside it. I decided to do it some years ago, and is probably one of the most incredible places I did ever see in my life, every single detail was thought by the genious Gaudí and it seems a building from another planet. Mayor should do something to improve local visits.
Wonderful! I have been there but missed so many of the details you film and describe. Some I could never have seen without your film. Thank you so much.
wonderful presentation as always! I learned a lot through your videos, very well explained. Thank you so much for your hard work and time! We appreciate it so much!
This is an excellent presentation. The visuals/graphics are of the highest quality. Sagrada Familia is a building like no other. An architectural masterpiece. It is a truly breathtaking spectacle. I' m lucky to have visited 3 times and each time it still managed to over awe me with its beauty and scale. Words and pictures cannot fully do it justice, it has to be experienced in the real world. The last time I visited was in 2008. I hope to return sometime soon.
Wow, absolutely fantastic video! I was there recently but definitely didn't appreciate it appropriately until now, thank you for making that possible for me!
What an incredible church! Thank you for the most in depth video about this architectural masterpiece. A friend visited the Sagrada Familia last summer and said that it was one of the greatest experiences of her life.
Thank you so much for this tour.it's on my bucket list to see in person.
Another wonderful video with so much info that simply is near impossible to find anywhere else! ¡Muchísimas gracias a Manuel!
Manuel Bravo, this video was the best I have seen. Thank you very much.
Best video I’ve seen on the Sagrada Familia. Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful presentation. Beautiful description of the church itself, history behind it, and amazing music!
Most interesting! I visited the Sagrada Familia a few years ago, but your explanations added a lot to what I saw! I plan to go back in a few years from now, when it will be completed! Grâcies!
Amazing coverage of this work of art! Thank you! I just subscribed to your channel. Hope to see more
Thank you so much, I learned much from your video. I already loved Gaudi's work and now appreciate it even more. ❤
Superb video AND explanation.Visionay work.
Very well done. Your are very smart, well versed with information & kept the video flowing. Congratulations.
Fantastic documentary. That's what I've been looking for!
Great video, the images were perfect and the explanations were so detailed. It almost feels like a real visit - almost :)
This has to be one of the best videos on Sagrada Familia I have seen!
Amazing, video ! Thank you Manuel 🥰
Excellent video. Very professional and mindfulness.
The City of Barcelona is unique thanks to the many fantastic works of Gaudi. I have spent hours in front of each of his buildings, filled with awe and inspiration. By contrast, we here in the USA are so poor culturely. Thanks for the tour.
your video was amazing!there was lots of details and amazing information❤❤❤
Good choice of music! Some of my favorites to play on the piano ;) And also the S.F. is amazing in person! Can’t wait to revisit when completed
You're really handsome. :)
I've been searching forever for the song in the beginning. Could you tell me what it is?
Amazing video. Thank you for your hard work
Thank you for your this presentation !
I like how you stop to show us all the interesting details 👍🏻
I’ve lived in Barcelona for 6 years now and last year I finally went inside Sagrada Familia and it was literally breathtaking. Immediately upon entry I couldn’t help but gasp and think holy shit!
the first thing you think is {holy shit} ?
Absolutely amazing video - thank you!
Manuel Bravo, master of art.
Really beautiful video thank you so much
Your videos are precious. Gracias! ❤
Beautifully presented. Thank you very much 🌸
loved it!!!!! so detailed and informative. Gaudi was a genius without a doubt.
Best video I have ever seen. Thank you ❤
Wonderful tour of this incredible building!
It was a fantastic video. Thank you a lot for this masterpiece.
Thank you for this wonderful & thoughtful video.
I had share and show my kids. Thank you so much
Excellent video !!
Amazing piece of architecture and great work with this very informative video! Thanks!
Inspiring video, beautifully made!
Excellent, excellent presentation! Thank you!
Fantastic camera work to follow your narrative
Thank you very much for this and others!
Thanks for the awesomely informative video - can't wait to visit this masterpiece in June!
What a fascinating structure, truly a Masterpiece indeed.
🤣😭😭
This was so well made good job 👏 👍
I have visited this Church twice, and it still amazes me with all the details as visiting at different time of the day would give you a different experience.
Amazing documentary!
Thank you so much for this video !
beautyful, well filmed and narrated either!
wish we had seen this before we went. Excellent presentation. Thank you.
This church is very beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for making this video.
such a pleasure to watch your videos of exciting places. I doubt most people seeing sagrada will know half of this
Excelente video, felicidades!
Great tour! I visited in 98, so I’m excited to see all of the changes!
Your video has made me want to travel to Barcelona just to visit this amazing church! Fingers crossed xx
Ay Manuel! I’ve just watched your video and it’s left me in tears of reverence. I toured the church and was in a different kind of awe then but felt it was more a distraction; more of a museum than a house of God. I felt similarly visiting Rome as I walked by and turned down the opportunity of seeing The Vatican. Your video somehow transcended actually being there because you explained everything so well. Thank you.
Great video! So beautiful!
wow Manuel, outstanding.
Masterpiece Manuel!
Amazing video!
Perfectly researched, analysed and presented video. Manuel ought to sell these as a guided tour as the official recording ones hires at the church is not as informative.
Thank you so much, this was very informative and a great introduction for me and my children before we go see it today.
