The Basilica of the Holy Family otherwise known as the Sagrada Familia is undoubtedly the most famous church in Barcelona, in the whole of the Iberian Peninsula. Every year the unfinished masterpiece of Antoni Gaudi climbs higher in the sky and the world awaits its grand unveiling. Entirely funded by donations, the church has been beset by many setbacks, not least the death of the genius Antoni Gaudi who conceived it leaving few schematic drawings. The Spanish Civil War halted progress with the destruction of Gaudi’s handmade models and most recently construction was halted by the COVID pandemic.
Over the years, architects working on the project have struggled to realise Gaudi’s designs, as no real plans were left to copy. But thanks to the latest technology, changes in construction methods over the years and the dedication of generations of tradesmen work continues to complete the basilica. Despite the unfinished state of the basilica, it was awarded UNESCO world heritage status in 2005 and was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010. The planned completion date was to be in 2026 to coincide with the centenary of Gaudi’s death, although that now looks unlikely.

Excursion to the Sagrada Familia – Guide Barcelona ТМ
The Expiatory Temple of the Sagrada Familia is not only the main attraction of the Catalan capital, but also one of the rarest monuments of world architecture. Every year, millions of travelers flock on a tour of this majestic building, stunning in its appearance even to people completely unrelated to art. An excursion to the Sagrada Familia is a wonderful opportunity to see the beauty and grandeur of the Temple live.
Antonio Gaudí is, of course, an exceptional genius. It seems that the architect was in contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. How could something like this be conceived and implemented? Gaudi’s style, his philosophy and attitude differed to a significant extent from the generally established canons.
Its phantasmagoric wondrous world, its mythical architecture is an ode to nature and beauty.
Briefly about the history of the Sagrada Familia
The history of the Sagrada Familia dates back to the end of the 19th century. Then, on March 19, 1882, the diocesan architect Francisco del Villar began work on the plan of his building. But in 1883, the project for the construction of the cathedral was given to Antoni Gaudi. And just with his name, first of all, the Sagrada Familia is identified.
Gaudi completely changed the original plan. What we have the opportunity to see at the present time is only an incomplete reflection of the idea of a brilliant architect.
Gaudí dreamed of building a building that could be seen from anywhere in the city. And he succeeded. The Sagrada Familia Cathedral stands out for its colossal size.
The temple delights with the scope of the artistic idea, since Gaudí wished, without false modesty, that his creation depicted the Bible imprinted in stone.
In accordance with his drawings, the cathedral should be decorated with 3 facades that tell about the life path of Christ.
What the Sagrada Familia tour offers
