In 1883, the course of architectural history changed forever when Antoni Gaudí took over the design and construction of the Sagrada Familia. Originally started by architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, the basilica was first envisioned in a traditional neo-Gothic style. But once Gaudí assumed control, he reimagined it into something truly revolutionary—a masterpiece where faith, nature, and innovation would intertwine.

Gaudí infused the Sagrada Familia with symbolic meaning, drawing inspiration from the natural world, Christian theology, and geometry. Every curve, column, and stained-glass window reflects his genius and deep spirituality. His work went far beyond architecture—it was a form of devotion. He once said, “My client is not in a hurry,” referring to God and the slow, deliberate pace of the project.

By the time of Gaudí’s untimely death in 1926, only a portion of his grand vision had been completed. However, his detailed models and drawings laid the foundation for generations to continue building this iconic basilica.
