Sagrada Workshop
Here’s one the most amazing parts of the whole tour: the cathedral is still under construction, so a small cadre of artists and craftsmen continue their work under the eyes of tourists. One critical component of Gaudí’s method was the use of plaster models — this workshop continues to produce those models so construction can continue.
Gaudí obsessed over this cathedral, and realizing it would never come close to completion during his time, labored with absolute dedication in the latter part of his life to drawing up plans, models, and details so that work could continue long after his death. Unfortunately, most of his work was destroyed during the revolution, but was painstakingly pieced together again when the political climate stabilized. These reconstructed plans direct the construction today.
