Basílica de la Sagrada Família

There are audio guides with audio description for blind people. Available in Catalan, Spanish and English. There is a bronze model and Braille labels with a scale reproduction of the floor plan of the basilica, very useful for understanding the architectural ensemble, not only for blind visitors but for all audiences. The two finished facades of the Sagrada Família are located parallel to Marina and Sardenya streets respectively. The one on Marina street is the Naixement, and the one on Sardenya street is the Passió. Guide dogs are allowed throughout the site. Inside the museum, which is located next to the Passion facade, you can visit the “Central Towers” ​​room, a space with tactile models with reproductions of the six central towers or domes. You can touch the four models of the Evangelists' towers, the tower of Jesus Christ with its terminal cross and the tactile model of the tower of the Virgin Mary. In the central part of the museum you can also visit the "Inspiration in Nature" room with tactile elements that complement the visit. Arranged visits: The staff who give guided tours of the Sagrada Família have experience in carrying out visits adapted for blind and low-vision people. During arranged visits you can touch different elements, such as plaster models that reproduce to scale the towers, pinnacles, large windows, columns, hyperboloids (to understand Gaudí's geometric shapes), the shapes of nature, the chalice with grapes, etc. Free visit: If you visit the temple individually, without a guide but accompanied by a sighted person, you can also touch many elements of interest in the temple, such as the letters on the door of the Passion facade, the turtles on the Nativity facade, the interior columns that simulate tree trunks, etc. The towers are not open to visitors by people with visual impairments because the descent is on foot.

The Sagrada Família can be reached by several adapted bus lines, the Barcelona Bus Turístic, and the Metro (L2 and L5). The Sagrada Família Metro station is accessible. The elevator exits are: on Marina Street, corner Mallorca, and on Marina Street, corner Provença. People with disabilities can access the interior of the Basilica directly through access B located on Marina Street. Wheelchairs can also be borrowed at this entrance. There is an elevator to reach the Basilica, which can also be used to leave once the visit is over. The ramp that goes down to the Museum from the Passion facade is quite steep and long. At the end of it is where one of the two adapted toilets is located. This one, specifically, located at the entrance to the museum, is the one with the best accessibility conditions. The second is located inside the museum, near the Nativity facade, and the main difficulty it presents is opening the doors towards the interior, which makes maneuverability difficult. In the museum, many of the display cases are low enough for a person in a wheelchair to see them properly. The side ramps have steep slopes that, although not meeting all the requirements, allow access for people in wheelchairs. The towers are not accessible to people with reduced mobility because the descent is on foot. The school building does not present any notable difficulties. There is, however, a small step of 2.5 cm at the entrance. There are two shops, one inside the museum and another on the Nativity facade, which is also the exit, with automatic glass doors.
