The construction of the Sagrada Familia began in 1882, marking the start of one of the most iconic and enduring architectural projects in history. Originally envisioned by architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, the project took a dramatic turn when Antoni Gaudí assumed leadership in 1883. From that point forward, the basilica transformed into a masterpiece that fused faith, nature, and visionary design.

Gaudí devoted over 40 years of his life to the Sagrada Familia, infusing each element with deep religious symbolism and revolutionary architectural techniques. Although the structure remained unfinished at the time of his death in 1926, his vision continued to inspire generations of architects and artisans. Today, visitors from around the world marvel at its ever-evolving beauty and the commitment to completing Gaudí’s legacy.

The ongoing construction is not just about completing a monument—it’s about honoring a dream more than a century in the making. Every visit is a glimpse into history and progress, as you witness the basilica come to life before your eyes.
