The Nativity Facade of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain was completed between 1894 and 1930 . The architect, Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), designed La Sagrada Familia in Art Nouveau style and the Nativity Facade does not fail to astonish the visitors to the Basilica . Various scenes from Christ’s birth and early life are depicted, including the Annunciation, the Wedding of Mary and Joseph, and the Presentation in the Temple . A sculpture of the Coronation of Mary is also depicted on this facade.
