The Expiatory Temple of the Sagrada Familia, is a Catholic basilica in Barcelona, designed by the architect Antoni Gaudí. Started in 1882, it is still under construction. It is Gaudí’s masterpiece, and the maximum exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.

The Passion Sacristy is part of the perimeter constructions of the Temple.

There are two symmetrical sacristies in the project, located on Provença street. The only one already built is the Passion Sacristy, which currently houses an exhibition area on the first floor and the offices of the Basilica’s technical construction team on the upper floors.

The building is a dome designed to serve as a lantern of natural light to the interior space, with double height and perimeter mezzanine. A space full of light. The interior vaults with a large central hyperboloid for the passage of light, and the large windows as elliptical and circular rosettes on the second floor, are a clear example of this will.
