The Glory Façade is the main façade of the Sagrada Família and is currently still under construction.

This work, planned with an extraordinary level of detail by Antoni Gaudí, will be the largest and most symbolic part of the temple.

Gaudí conceived this façade as a map of the afterlife, representing the Last Judgment, heaven, hell and purgatory, and inviting reflection on life, death and the spiritual meaning of existence.

Through the lecture by Dr. Francesc Torralba, we will delve into Gaudí’s spiritual and philosophical vision, exploring how architecture, art and theology come together to create a deeply symbolic discourse. We will also reflect on how this symbolism can be reinterpreted today, connecting with a contemporary perspective on life and transcendence.

This event aims to highlight the interdisciplinary approach in which philosophy, art and architecture converge to offer a unique and enriching learning experience, allowing participants to discover the spiritual dimension of the Sagrada Família from a new perspective.
