Sagrada Família holds Open Doors Days - Sagrada Família holds Open Doors Days

As each year, during the La Mercè festivities, the Sagrada Família held its Open Doors Days. On 24, 25, 26 and 27 September, 20,000 people got to visit the Basilica for free. They were chosen in a draw open to the public, which 133,428 people entered.

The visitors got to see the Nativity façade, the interior of the Basilica, the Liturgical path, the museum and the Passion façade. Inside, they also discovered 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. The exhibition will be on display through 31 December 2026.

New this year, the materials yard featured 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.

Thanks to all of you who shared these special days with the Sagrada Família
