Sagrada Família opens its doors for La Mercè - Sagrada Família opens its doors for La Mercè

Today we’re kicking off the Sagrada Família Open Doors Days, coinciding like every year with the La Mercè festivities. On 24, 25, 26 and 27 September, 20,000 people will get to visit the Basilica for free. They were chosen in a draw open to the public, which 133.428 people entered.

This time, the visit will include a tour of the Nativity façade, the interior of the Basilica, the Liturgical path, the museum and the Passion façade. Inside, visitors will also get to see the exhibition “The power of a shared dream”, which is part of the commemorative programme for Gaudí Year. It is a photographic journey through the key moments in this shared dream, highlighting the collective efforts that have made it possible: the people who have kept it alive, overcoming challenges and propelling it into the future.

New this year, the materials yard will feature a display with three of the sculptures that will be on the outside of the Chapel of the Assumption: the figures of Saint Joseph Oriol and Saint Roch, and one of the four angels that will crown the dome and hold up the Virgin Mary’s blue mantle.
