Sagrada Família to raffle 20,000 free tickets to celebrate La Mercè

To celebrate the La Mercè festivities, the Sagrada Família will hold more Open Doors Days to bring the Basilica closer to the public and show the current state of construction. 

This year, 20,000 tickets will be offered to visit the temple between September 24, 25, 26 and 27 September, from 4-8pm (on Saturday, September 26, hours will be from 3-6pm.)

The visit will include a tour of the Nativity façade, the interior of the Basilica, the Liturgy Path, the museum and the Passion façade. 

Inside, attendees will also be able to visit the exhibition “The Power of a Shared Dream," part of the commemorative programme of the Gaudí Year. It is a photographic journey through the key moments of his 'shared dream,' with the aim of highlighting the collective strength that has made the Basilica possible.

New this year, three of the sculptures that will form part of the exterior of the Assumpta Chapel will be exhibited in the materials patio: the figures of Saint Josep Oriol and Saint Roch, as well as one of the four angels that will crown the dome and hold the blue mantle of the Virgin Mary. 

People interested in attending the Open Doors Days can register for the ticket draw until September 20 at 9pm through this form available on the Sagrada Familia website and on social networks. 

Draw winners will be notified on September 20.
