The Sagrada Família is Antoni Gaudí's unfinished basilica and Barcelona's most famous landmark, drawing millions to its soaring nave and intricate Nativity and Passion facades. Entry is by timed ticket with security screening, and large bags, suitcases, and bulky backpacks are not allowed inside the basilica or in the tower lifts; there is no cloakroom for travel luggage. Visitors arriving from Barcelona Sants, the airport, or between hotels therefore cannot bring cases with them. Storage partners around Carrer de Provença, Carrer de Mallorca, and the Sagrada Família Metro exits sit only a few minutes' walk away.
