This is a stunning piece of architecture and well worth a lengthy side-trip if you are ever anywhere near Spain. We toured the building site in 2000 when there was nothing in there but a smallish museum of Gaudi's work and a lot of dust and beams and concrete sitting around. I am so pleased to hear it will soon be somewhat finished and put to good use! Here is an interior shot of the cathedral:

I think it's a joke.
Why should one man's personal style be imposed so pronouncedly on a house of worship.
It's more like a cathedral to Gaudi's idiosyncrasies.
