Catalonia's first tourist asset

The Sagrada Familia is a world heritage site. The Nativity facade and the crypt are the work of Antoni Gaudí. In 2016, it was the second most visited church in Europe after St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, the most visited tourist place in Catalonia and the third most visited in Spain. In 2015, 4 million people visited it.
