Architect Antoni Gaudí is as celebrated around the globe as he is in his native Catalonia, to where almost five million people travel every year to visit the otherworldly Sagrada Familia. But Gaudí's fame exists uncomfortably in a secular world, which discards the very thing he considered the source of his genius: his faith. Peter Stanford invites you to walk in Gaudí's footsteps through the streets of Barcelona.
Look up, over and into unforgettable buildings and discover the Catholicism at their core. Follow Gaudí from an obscure start in rural Catalonia as he journeys to become one of the world's most famous architects, all the while balancing religious conviction with survival in a tumultuous political landscape punctuated by personal hardship and loss. Come to Barcelona and learn to look beyond the dizzying spires of La Sagrada Família, up towards the God Gaudí built them for.
