An unusual perspective captures the shadow play created by the elaborate wrought iron decorations of the Sagrada Familia on the pavement in front of the basilica. The projected shadow reveals the complexity of the design of gates and railings designed by Gaudi, who even in the most functional details inserted artistic elements. The contrast between light and shadow on the stone floor creates an ephemeral work of art that changes with the movement of the sun during the day. This image demonstrates how Gaudi's architecture constantly interacts with natural light, creating ever new and surprising effects that enrich the visitor's experience.
