Gaudi's artistry transcended architecture, as he infused La Sagrada Familia with intricate stone sculptures, including a life-sized donkey cast from a real animal.

His obsession with the church's design reflected a unique blend of organic shapes and celestial themes, creating a facade that was both vibrant and alive.
