The last and greatest Gaudi feat is the cathedral Segrada Familia. As you can see it more than easily towers over the buildings around it.
From the ground, the cathedral is equally impressive. This is the view from one side...
And here's the other end.
This is the side of the building in all of its buttressed glory.
From the inside, the massive windows ensure amazing lighting across every corner of the church.
And a warm and colourful glow from this beautiful set of stained glass in particular.
The core of the cathedral is a set of pillars that are made from different materials to support different ceiling weights based on the location. The pillars are also designed to look like trees, with the ceiling patterned like flowers. Very poetic.
Around the walls of the outside of the cathedral, a series of beautifully sculptured statues stand... or in this case sit. The statues are mostly centered around the birth, life and death of Jesus Christ.
The heads of these roman soldiers look strangely similar to the statues on the terrace of Casa Mila. Coincidence or intentional?
There is that lizard again!
I've never seen metal doors with such strange and intricate designs like these... much less did I expect to find them on a church.
You can go up and down the towers' snail-shaped circular stairs. Don't worry, there's an elevator if you can't bare the dizziness of going in circles in a tight space.
The top of the towers are especially impressive as they are hollow inside and have huge windows to see the dark hole within.
Another perspective on the towertop's staircase.
The Segrada Familia's four towers.
A close-up of the towers shows the words "Excelsis" and "Hosana" displayed vertically on the tower walls.
When it's not jewelled eggs on top of buildings, its bunches of fruit -- just as colourful and shiny as the eggs in his Parc Gruell.

The 3-D wavy roof Gaudi's studio right next to the cathedral continues to show his genius. Supposedly the funky shape of the roof makes it even stronger than any traditional rooftop.
