Within the towering walls of Barcelona’s Sagrada Família, this recording features the interplay of sound and space in one of the world’s most iconic basilicas. The soft whispers of visitors blend with the occasional resonance of footsteps on polished stone, their echoes rising to meet the vaulted ceiling.

In the background, the faint drone of city life filters through, a reminder of the cathedral's place in the heart of the metropolis. As light streams through the stained glass, we imagine it paints the soundscape with an otherworldly quality, making every sound feel part of a larger, transcendent harmony. 

This auditory portrait offers a glimpse into the soul of a place where art, faith, and architectural brilliance converge.
