This last months there is been lots of news at the Sagrada Familia. The Pope Benedict XVI is coming to inaugurate and consacrate the inside on November 7th, and they are hurrying to have the naves nice and ready for his visit!
In a short perior of time I've seen how the last scaffolding remaining inside have been dismantled (of course, outside there is still a lot going on!), the final pavement placed, and lots of new details added: decoration in the skylights, stained-glasses around the altar, lamps at the capitals of the columns... and my favorite: the Christ and a gorgeous chandelier with crystal grapes hanging over the altar.
Lifting up skylight decorationsI love to see new things everytime I go in!
Plus now it's easier to see the architects, that otherwise are working in their office. Here you see the Head Architect, Mr. Bonet (the one holding the helmet).
For more information on the Pope's visit (site in Catalan and Spanish).
