Sagrada
Sagrada is the short name visitors use for Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's still-unfinished basilica in the Eixample. Timed tickets on the official site are the practical way in; the Metro station shares the church's name.

The Nativity facade and the more angular Passion facade reward a slow circuit of the block before you use your entry time.
Morning and late afternoon change the stained glass. Your ticket time is the light you get.
The site includes Gaudí's workshop story and museum rooms. They are part of the standard visit, not a separate building across town.
Same basilica as sagradafamilia.org. Book there. Construction, tower closures, and Mass can change the route inside.
The spires are the skyline marker for this part of Barcelona, even before you go inside.
Arrive in the window on your ticket. Late arrivals can be refused.
The surrounding grid of the Eixample is walkable. Casa Batllo and La Pedrera are a different neighbourhood and a different ticket.
Is Sagrada the same as Sagrada Familia?
Yes. This guide is about Gaudí's basilica in Barcelona.
Walk-up tickets?
Do not rely on them. Buy a timed official ticket before you travel.
How long inside?
Many visitors spend 45-90 minutes in the nave and museum. Towers add more and include stairs.
Can I attend Mass?
Mass times are listed by the basilica. Tourist visits and worship have different rules; check the official page.
Locals and visitors often say 'the Sagrada' for the Sagrada Familia. It is still a building site: new stone, scaffolding, and revised completion talk are all normal.
Use the basilica's own website for tickets and current access. This page is an independent visitor briefing, not a ticket seller.
