The iconic Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, a masterpiece of architecture by Antoni Gaudí, is set to finally be completed in 2026, over 140 years after construction began. The last tower, dedicated to Jesus Christ, will be finished in 2026, making the basilica the tallest church in the world.
Originally started in 1882, Gaudí’s vision for the Sagrada Familia includes 18 towers representing biblical figures. Due to interruptions during the Spanish Civil War and lack of proper building permits, the project has faced numerous challenges over the years.
Despite these setbacks, the Sagrada Familia remains a symbol of Barcelona’s rich history and architectural prowess. With the final tower set to be completed in just a few years, visitors and locals alike can look forward to experiencing the full glory of this breathtaking structure.
