The Nativity façade, current entrance to the Sagrada Familia, is a cacophony of statues, symbolism, and skill portraying the events around the birth of Jesus as written in the Christian bible. There is a lot to see. Many folks recommend getting a pair of binoculars and standing in the park on this side to look at everything there is to see. Up close the statues of people and animals are very realistic and that is because they used real ones; plaster molds of them. For the animals they used something to render them unconscious but for people they made the mods and for faces went quickly.
