The Passion facade of the Sagrada Familia was meant to be frightening

The Passion facade of the Sagrada Familia has a porch supported by inclined columns resembling bones. Antoni Gaudí wanted this structure evoking the death and suffering of Christ to appear extravagant and frightening. To achieve this, he assumed dark architectural choices, going so far as to consider cutting the columns to accentuate the idea of a cruel sacrifice.
