Basílica de la Sagrada Família
Monumental unfinished basilica and Antoni Gaudí's supreme masterpiece

Construction began in 1882 under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar and was taken over by Antoni Gaudí in 1883, who radically transformed it into an organic forest of stone. Consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010, it is funded entirely through private donations and visitor admissions.
Architectural & Symbolic Reading
Cosmic vertical axis featuring 18 monumental spires representing the Twelve Apostles, the Four Evangelists, the Virgin Mary, and Jesus Christ rising 172.5 meters. The interior hyperboloid stone columns branch like ancient trees to diffuse natural daylight.
