3-Barcelona, Spain-La Sagrada Familia (Interior)

After waiting outside for what felt like an eternity, I finally got the chance to enter La Sagrada Familia. And let me tell you, the basilica is even taller on the inside! It's a challenge to keep your head up and chin high just so you can appreciate the ceiling.

The interior of the basilica is absolutely overwhelming and there's so much detail to admire. For instance, the "Great Forest": Gaudí envisioned the inside of the basilica as a vast forest, with the columns serving as tree trunks branching out from the capitals into the vaults, allowing sunlight to filter through, mimicking foliage (according to information provided by the Gaudi Museum).
