The external beauty of La Sagrada Familia

Crossed the street; was attracted by the holly leaves atop some fence posts (above).


This is one of the main sides of the structure; snapped from outside the fence ie free viewing.

There is a small admission fee to be paid to get you through the gates.

The lighter coloured part on the left was newly-built.

The entire structure is still a construction in progress.

It's a safe bet that it'll not be completed in this century ie by 2099.

This is another side of the structure.

Are those massive columns (on the left in photo) for a part of the structure or a temporary support structure?
