FACADES

The three facades (A facade is a wall setting the tone of the building) on La Sagrada Familia are named: The nativity facade, the passion facade, and the glory facade. The nativity facade is dedicated to the birth of Jesus Christ. It was made first out of the three facade to be made. It is decorated the most and is the most colorful. The passion facade is dedicated to the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. It is plain and simple with straight lines. It also has a skeleton on it representing Jesus Christ. The glory facade is dedicated to the glory of Jesus Christ. It is also the largest of the three. All three of the facades were structured with four bell towers grouped by pairs.
