South-western facade of the Sagrada Família, depicting Christ's last days and death.
It has been built in the 1950's and has, like the Nativity facade, four towers that represent four of the apostles. The sculptor was Josep Subirachs. He has not tried to imitate Gaudí's design, but has made his own images. The sculptures are in an S-shaped sequence, starting with the Last Supper at bottom left and ending with Christ's burial at the top.
