Sagrada Familia is situated in Barcelona. It was designed by Antonio Gaudí and it was buit in 1882, but now it's still in works. Some important people are buried there. The temple, when finished, will have 18 towers. This cathedral is very important, but for many years it's been in construction.

WRITING: A SUVIVOR'S STORY

Last year I was staying in Madagascar with my parents in the summer. There were a lot of clouds in the sky and my parents and I returned to the city.

Suddenly, we saw that the volcano was erupting and we were very frightened. When the lava came to the city where we were, the people were scared. There was panic.

People were shouting and the lava destroyed one part of the things of the island.


Afterwards, we were OK, but 42 people were injured. They went to the hospital and they recovered. It was a terrible experience, and when we arrived to Catalonia the next week, I felt lucky to be alive.
