>> I highly recommend the guided tour if you're ever in Barcelona. The history of it's engineering and construction is fascinating even if you're not that into Gaudi, or cathedrals. I can absolutely agree on this. As a staunch atheist I have no relationship to religion or the catholic church, but the creativity and dedication of this man is really fascinating -- even his death had a relation to the building. The architecture is truly awe inspiring and so rich in detail, you could surely spend several days there and discover something new every day. From an engineering POV what has inspired me the most was the method with which the stresses/strains of the structure was modelled (without numerical methods or finite element analysis).
