    Hi Everyone.
    After a recent trip to Barcelona and a visit to the amazing La Sagrada Familia i've started to do some drawings and studys of the building. We took plenty of photographs but i'm not looking for a book that will explain it all. There is so much going on on the outisde of the building, different sculptures depicting different scenes from the bible. Can anyone recommend a book they've seen, read or own that gives a deep insight into the history of and facts about the building? I've checked amazon but no reviews there!

    Thanks!;)

    It's an amazing building alright! Awe inspiring!

    There was lots of information on the guided tours and I picked up a leaflet, I must check to see if they reference any books. If a book is referenced in the official guide then it must be good.

    There's no reviews on the Barnes & Noble site either...
    Perhaps someone on the History or Christianity forums could help either. Wait and see what replies you get here first.

    Maybe a book on Gaudi himself will throw up some info?
