The Sagrada Família has three facades. The first is the Nativity facade on the east side of the church, which celebrates Jesus’ birth; the second is the Passion facade on the west side, which depicts Jesus’ Crucifixion; and the third is the south-facing Glory facade, the church’s main entrance, which shows how humans can celebrate divine glory.
