Basic information

Sagrada Familia is called the most famous “long-term construction” in Europe. Its construction began in Barcelona in 1882 and has not been completed to this day. Recently, due to the increased number of donations and tickets sold, construction work is being carried out much faster.

Their completion was scheduled for 2026 – it was assumed that it was then that the temple could be seen in all its splendor. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the date has been pushed back indefinitely. But even now, when some of the towers are hidden by scaffolding, the Sagrada Familia makes an unforgettable impression.

The temple was originally planned to be built in neo-Gothic
style, but when Antonio Gaudi joined the project, the main idea was
almost completely revised. From the side of the Sagrada Familia, it reminds
sand castle, that was the idea of ​​the architect.

When construction is completed, the height of the main tower (Christ) will be 172.5 meters. Thus, after the completion of the work, the Sagrada Familia will become the highest Christian church in the world.

Although Sagrada Familia was consecrated in
2010, formally the land on which it stands does not belong to the church, and since
from the very first day, construction is carried out exclusively on private
donations.

Construction of the Sagrada Familia

External decoration

The temple was designed in the form of a Latin cross. He has three
facade:

• Nativity facade
• Passion facade
• Glory facade

At the moment only two of them are ready: Christmas facade
and the Passion façade.

Nativity facade was completed during Gaudí’s lifetime. He
divided into three portals, symbolizing the three Christian virtues – faith,
hope and mercy (love).

This is the main entrance to the temple, it is decorated with bas-reliefs and
sculptural compositions illustrating scenes from the bible. In design
facade of the Nativity used various natural motifs – images of plants
and animals, and above the scene of the birth of Christ, symbolizing eternal life, rises
green cypress surrounded by white birds.

Facade of the Passion is on the opposite side
temple. In contrast to the Nativity façade, it is much more gloomy and concise.

According to the architect’s idea, the images in the facade portals should symbolize human sins and cause fear. Angular grotesque figures and gloomy plots, in the center of which the crucifixion of Christ, contrast sharply with the facade of the Nativity, where life is in full swing.

Facade of Glory was started in 2002 and has not been completed yet.
The original project was lost, but subsequently restored in separate
materials preserved after the death of Gaudí.

Each of the three facades will be crowned with 4 towers in honor of the 12 apostles, 4 more in honor of the apostles-evangelists, and one more in honor of Jesus and Mary.

Total 18 towers ; 8 of them are ready and 6 are under construction now.

forest. This impression is complemented by stained-glass windows that fill the space of the temple with bright colors.
