Constructed in 1882 by Antoni Gaud\u00ed and still not finished even to this day, the temple is rich with culture and packed with stunning traditional architecture and innovation.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Inside, the stone pillars are separated by stunning stained-glass windows, murals and colours that twinkle in the sunlight. There are many areas of the temple to see, including the two Facade Murals, the garden, the interior and even Gaud\u00ed\u2019s tomb. This location is a must-visit if you\u2019re in Barcelona, as it is one of the most famous landmarks in the country.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Stay nearby<\/h4>\n<div class=\"sdstaynearby\">\n<div class=\"sdcol2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travelodge.es\/travelodge-barcelona-destiny\/travelodge-barcelona-poblenou-hotel\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/media.travelodge.co.uk\/image\/upload\/v1675260555\/ecrm\/hotels-digi\/ES2014.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sdcol2 sdlast\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travelodge.es\/travelodge-barcelona-destiny\/travelodge-barcelona-fira-hotel-uk\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/media.travelodge.co.uk\/image\/upload\/v1675260555\/ecrm\/hotels-digi\/ES2012.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-blue wpel-icon-right\" href=\"https:\/\/travelodge.es\/travelodge-barcelona-destiny\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Search deals<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/isleofwightfestival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"wpel-icon-right\">Isle of Wight Festival<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6\"><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"598\" height=\"422\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37047 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travelodgeblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Isle-of-Wight-Festival.jpg\" alt=\"Isle of Wight Festival\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelodgeblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Isle-of-Wight-Festival.jpg 598w, https:\/\/travelodgeblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Isle-of-Wight-Festival-250x176.jpg 250w, https:\/\/travelodgeblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Isle-of-Wight-Festival-120x85.jpg 120w, https:\/\/travelodgeblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Isle-of-Wight-Festival-480x339.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/>Love jamming out to incredible music?
