Open Days at Sagrada Familia

This January, Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona will open its doors to society each Saturday. As a result of the high demand for visits since the church was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI, and willing to to thank neighbourhood residents for their efforts during the Pope’s visit, with all the restrictions it involved.

Staying at Hotel Europark Sagrada Familia Penthouse ensures you a great view of the basilica from the terrace.

Sagrada Família will open at 9am to allow access to as many interested people as possible, and remain open until 6pm.

We would like to share with you this wonderful video made by Ajuntament de Barcelona:

The Pope will visit Barcelona and Sagrada Familia

On Sunday November 7th, Pope Benedict XVI will come to Barcelona and consecrate the Temple of Sagrada Familia. This piece of news was announced yesterday by Cardinal Archbishop of Barcelona, Lluis Martinez Sistach.

This visit shows the high esteem of the Pope for the catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, added the spoke-person at the Vatican, Federico Lombardi. NN Hotels invites you to discover all Gaudi’s buildings as well as other Art-Noveau works in Barcelona, such as Park Guell or Palau de la Musica, with the Modernism Route.

The last time a Pope was in Barcelona dates from 1982, when John Paul II visited Montserrat, the construction works at Sagrada Familia and celebrated mass at the Camp Nou stadium.
