Sagrada Familia • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the Sagrada Familia, a masterpiece that has been a work in progress for over one hundred forty years. As you stand here at Carrer de Mallorca, number four hundred one, you are looking at one of the most iconic landmarks on the planet. This extraordinary basilica was the obsession of Antoni Gaudí, a man who famously said that his "client"—meaning God—was not in a hurry. Construction began way back in eighteen eighty-two under a different architect, but Gaudí took the reins a year later and transformed a simple neo-Gothic plan into the symbolic forest of stone you see before you. Today, it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage site and a living monument that bridges the past and the future of Barcelona. Take a moment to look up at the soaring spires and feel the energy of a building that is still evolving, even a century after its creator’s passing.
