Nativity Facade Details of the Segrada Familia

The only way to appreciate the detail of the Nativity façade is to see a large section of the cathedral all at one time. click here to see a very large size photo of a small section of the Nativity façade; note this photo may take several minutes to download on a slow internet connection.

There are three portals to the Nativity façade. The central portal is a celebration of creation, with the birth of Jesus being the central theme. Along with the carvings of angels, shepherds and Magi can be found animals, plants, and stars. If you look closely, you will also see words scrawled among the statuary proclaiming the glory of God.
