Where is it?

Yeah.... we need clues that we can google

I can't believe the picture of a building site in a big church-style building isn't inspiring anyone to google!

Sagrada Familia. Barcelona, Spain.

Great, now get over to what is it and guess mine so I can go get some work done!

hitssquad

Yes'm.

Thanks hits, I was worried that you and me might be the only semi-cultured people in this place.

honestrosewater

Bah, I could have guessed if I tried. Were they Muses? I really want to know now...

hitssquad

Actually, you are all alone. I would never have gotten it if I had not googled the copyright holder whose name is visible in the second image.

honestrosewater

Heh, I did the same thing. But I stopped looking after a few minutes.

If you go to their website and click photo gallery and select Spain, there are only 20 photos.

That is about average for the European listings.

Spain was my second guess after the UK. (I don't know why.)

lol I looked up that name too, and I got tired too; I was looking in the italian section though.

Surely the Sagrada Familia is one of the most astounding, beautiful and famous pieces of modern architecture in the world, not to mention being a monstrous building site, worthy of any visit to, well, Europe?



Still not ringing any bells?

whozum

Shouldn't be too difficult.

brewnog

Looks Londony to me.

Brewnog,is that a cathedral in Barcelona...?

It looks similar to the Dome in Milano,but i'd say it may be Barcelona,though.

i don't know where that is either, but that parking looks really really weird. is that a one way road? you have to back-in diagonally into the space?

brewnog

Dex, yes, it's in Barcelona.

It was designed by Gaudi in the 1880s, and construction started in 1882.

People often think that it looks like a building site because it's being refurbished. In fact, it's still being built. Some estimates suggest that it might even be complete within the next century or so. The tallest tower hasn't even started being constructed yet. If anyone's ever in Spain, they should definitely check this out. Even though it's not complete, you can go on tours around it, and climb the spires. It's a stunning piece of architecture.
