Description
Nativity facade of Antoni Gaudi's Basilica Sagrada Familia (Church of the Holy Family), endless construction in Barcelona, Spain
the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI consecrated and proclaimed it a minor basilica, as distinct from a cathedral which must be the seat of a bishop.
The construction of this incredible temple started in 1882, when Gaudi agreed to take over a project for a new and magnificent church in Barcelona. It is still not finished. In 2013 about 65% of the temple has been completed. It is expected that the church will be finally finished in 2026, which will be 100 years after Gaudi died in 1926. The present chief architect is Jordi Faul, who leads a team of 40 construction workers. He is the ninth generation of architects to lead the building work and it is expected that Faul will be the final architect, when this magnificent temple is finally finished 144 years after the building work started.
