Picture of Sagrada Familia Sunset

Night Time Story

Once upon a time, a young couple strolled through the magnificent Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. They were impressed by the unique architecture and incredible decor of this historical monument. As the sun set, they decided to stop to admire the view and enjoy the romantic atmosphere around them.


As they admired the surroundings, they heard a soft, melodious voice coming from the loudspeakers located on the exterior walls of the building. This voice belonged to a local singer who performed “Ave Maria”, a famous song composed by Gounod in 1859. The music was so beautiful that it melted the couple's hearts and they stood frozen in place for several minutes savoring every note .


The sun had now almost disappeared behind the horizon and the sky was filled with pastel colors of orange, pink and purple. The orange swirls of the sun's rays were also reflected on the colored stained glass of the Gothic windows of the basilica, which created a spectacle even more magical than that offered by the divine music. The couple couldn't help but be completely charmed by everything they saw and heard around them at that precise moment. They knew this place would always be special to them as it marked their first moment together at sunset at Sagrada Familia!
