On the Promenade au bord de la mer (Promenade by the sea) the MuCEM is a museum of 21st-century civilizations, principally concerned with comparing all aspects of the cultures of the Mediterranean, with Europe and the other continents that border the Mediterranean occupying a major place.

Sagrada Familia Passion Façade

Sagrada Familia Passion Façade Abstract

The spectacular Basilica de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain is the largest unfinished Roman Catholic Church in the world.  Designed by architect Antoni Gaudí, construction began in 1882 and combines Gothic Revival, curvilinear Art Nouveau, and Modernista architectural forms. In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica.  Today, 9 of the total 18 planned towers have been completed and the rest of the construction is anticipated to be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí’s death.

In the top center-right of the composition, between the two middle towers, you can see the Risen Christ Sculpture featured in my July 2nd post.

Cheers,
