Barcelona Revisited

Paradoxical News spent a hiatus revisiting Barcelona, Spain. This time from the top. It may look like Disney Land, but this is the church Sagrat Cor (Sacred Heart) on the Tibidabo point of the Collserola massif, with a tiny hermitage sacred building and once upon a time the highest point before the church was built. Apart from an amusement park, a science museum, restaurants and much more.

At the tower of the church a giant gilded Jesus figure embraces the city of Barcelona - much like the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Sacred Heart is a devotion to Jesus, known in Roman Catholic, Anglo Catholic, and Lutheran Churches. It refers to the physical heart of Jesus wounded by a lance.

The view from the top tower is magnificent, with views over the entire widespread city of Barcelona, Gaudi's Park Güell, the Rambla pedestrian strip, the harbour, and the Barca football (soccer) stadium.
