As I recall, it’s officially an “expiatory temple”… only one I’ve encountered. Still, being in construction for over a century should qualify it as a medieval cathedral.
It is one unbelievable edifice, any way you look at it.
I remember when I was there having the thought that: if something like this takes so long — then I can take my time with my drivel as well.
Barcelona has always been one of my favorite international cities.
