With their fingertips, Marina Rojas and Jose Pedro Gonzalez went through a small-scale model of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia church in an exhibition which allows the visually impaired to discover some of the world's best-known monuments.

"There are just so many tiny details! And what a strange roof," enthused Gonzalez as he explored the wooden replica of Antoni Gaudi's spectacular basilica.

Rojas said that she "never imagined the Sagrada Familia like that".

"It's very surprising, because you get a general idea of what the monument is like, what the space inside is like," she added.
