Sagrada Família

Work began in 1882 and Gaudí took over a year later; he devoted the rest of his life to it and died in 1926 with only part of it built. In 2026, the centenary of his death, the central Tower of Jesus Christ reached its final height of 172.5 metres, the tallest in the city.

The Nativity façade, the only one Gaudí saw, and the Passion façade tell the life of Christ in stone. Inside, the columns branch like trees, and the stained glass bathes the nave in greens and blues in the morning and reds and oranges in the afternoon.
