Barcelona’s skyline owes much of its drama and soul to the Sagrada Família, Antoni Gaudí’s magnum opus that has shaped the identity of a city. From its beginnings in 1882 under Francisco de Paula del Villar, the vision of this Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family transformed dramatically when Gaudí took over a year later. With a bold fusion of neo-Gothic roots and his own organic modernist imagination, Gaudí turned stone into poetry.

Over a century later, the basilica remains unfinished, yet its presence is complete. Its soaring towers—symbolic of the twelve apostles, the Virgin Mary, the Evangelists, and Christ—radiate a spiritual geometry that draws the light, nature, and devotion into a sacred space. Each façade tells a chapter: the Nativity, the Passion, soon the Glory, each deeply symbolic.

Despite wars, financial uncertainty, and the challenges of modern technologies, work accelerates. The goal of finishing by 2026, marking 100 years since Gaudí’s death, brings visitors not only an architectural wonder but a chance to witness history in the making.
