La Sagrada Fam\u00edlia is the largest unfinished church on Earth. Designed by the famous Spanish designer and architect Antoni Gaud\u00ed<\/a><\/strong>, the Sagrada Familia is one of a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VISITING LA SAGRADA FAMILIA: TIPS & INFORMATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

HISTORY OF LA SAGRADA FAMILIA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. LA SAGRADA FAMILIA IS A UNESCO-LISTED SITE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Art critic Rainer Zerbst once noted, \u201cIt is probably impossible to find a church building anything like [La Sagrada Familia] in the entire history of art.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sagrada Familia is one of seven UNESCO-listed Gaud\u00ed properties<\/a><\/strong> in Barcelona: Parc G\u00fcell, Palacio G\u00fcell, Casa Mila- La Pedrera, Casa Batll\u00f3, Casa Vicens, and the Crypt in Colonia G\u00fcell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. LA SAGRADA FAMILIA IS FAMOUSLY UNCOMPLETE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Construction of the eye-catching Sagrada Familia began in 1882 and has continued for over 140+ years since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Construction<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gaud\u00ed, at the age of 73, impressively was still working on the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia when he was tragically hit by a tram in 1926 and died. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, his architectural vision survives him with the continued construction of the Sagrada Familia he so passionately pursued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. WHEN WILL LA SAGRADA FAMILIA BE FINISHED?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, the Sagrada Familia is expected to be completed in 2026<\/a><\/strong>, the centenary of Gaud\u00ed’s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, it’s believed it will be finished 3 years from now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s incredible to think we are just a few years away from seeing Gaud\u00ed’s vision fully realized!<\/p>\n\n\n

In the model above, the remaining parts that still need to be built are shown in brown (As of 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the highest point is still awaiting construction. Once complete, the tallest spire will reach a height of approximately 566 feet once again redefining Barcelona’s skyline. (And by request of Gaud\u00ed, one meter shorter than God’s creation: Montju\u00efc Mountain.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll all have to go back to see it in its final form!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaud\u00ed’s Magnum opus: his masterpiece, the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia, is one of the most awe-inspiring man-made structures you’ll ever see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
