The Ascent to the TowersOf the 18 towers that Gaudí planned for the Sagrada Familia Basilica, eight are currently completed; four on the Nativity façade and four on the Passion façade.
Tickets to visit the towers are not included in the basic admission price. They can be purchased as an additional option. Capacity is limited, so booking well in advance is recommended.
The upper part of the towers is only accessible by lift, one for each facade. You can choose to go up to the tower on the Nativity façade with a view of the east side of Barcelona, or to the tower on the Passion façade, facing the city centre.
Attention:
the lift is used to descend from the tower of the Passion, while stairs are used to descend from the tower of the Nativity.
For safety reasons, children under the age of 6 are not allowed on the towers and children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. People with reduced mobility or in wheelchairs are also not allowed to climb the towers. The lifts in the towers will be closed in adverse weather conditions, including high winds and/or heavy rain.
