Sagrada Família — Vintage Botanical Landmark Print

PLATE A — Templum Sacrae Familiae. Architectural Study. Antoni Gaudí's life's work in Barcelona — begun in 1882 and still under construction, the Sagrada Família is the longest-running active building project in the world. Gaudí designed the columns as branching trees, the vaults as forest canopies and the facades as living stone. "Nothing is invented, for it is written in nature first." A UNESCO World Heritage Site. When completed, it will be the tallest church ever built. Botanical companions from Catalonia: Holm Oak (Quercus ilex), Carnation (the national flower of Catalonia), Lavender, Rosemary, Olive Tree, Almond Blossom and Gallica Rose.
