STUDIES ON PROPOSER AND FIRST IDEA OF THE TEMPLO DE LA SAGRADA FAMILIA

Abstract

This study deals with the proposer and the first idea of the Templo de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, by examining the origin and development of the Asociacion Espiritual de Devotos de San Jose founded in 1866. As a result, it is made clear that Bocabella was not only the founder of the association but also the poposer of the temple, and no the father Jose Mananet. From the beginning the purpose of the temple was very spiritual and symbolical as well as his association.
