The Sagrada Família stands as a testament not just to Gaudí’s genius, but to the unwavering devotion of multiple generations of architects who have carried his vision forward.

When Antoni Gaudí died in 1926, only a quarter of the basilica was complete. His trusted disciple, Domènec Sugrañes i Gras, took over and painstakingly completed the Nativity façade, ensuring the project stayed true to Gaudí’s distinctive style. Following him, Francesc de Paula Quintana i Vidal took the helm in 1939, reconstructing the plaster models destroyed during the Spanish Civil War and initiating work on the Passion façade.

From 1966 through the early 1980s, Isidre Puig i Boada and Lluís Bonet i Garí, two loyal Gaudí disciples, advanced the Passion façade and began developing the side nave façades. Francesc Cardoner briefly led the project in the early 1980s, followed by Jordi Bonet i Armengol, who revolutionized construction with modern techniques and guided the interior’s foundational elements from 1985 to 2012.

Since 2012, Jordi Faulí i Oller has directed the works, incorporating cutting-edge technologies like CAD and 3D modeling to bring Gaudí’s dream to life—including the towers of the Evangelists and Virgin Mary, and the rising central spire.

From Villar’s humble neo-Gothic beginnings to Gaudí’s visionary revolution, the Sagrada Família has thrived through persistent stewardship. Every era’s leader has infused the project with technical mastery and spiritual dedication, forging a living monument shaped by generations of guardians.
