Sagrada Familia

Posted by Staff in Architecture Marvels, Spain

This weeks “Architectural Marvel” is the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona, Spain. 

Architectural artist Antoni Gaudi broke ground in 1882 and spent the last 40 years of his life working on the project.

Construction still chugs on to this day and is predicted to cease by 2026, but there is controversy on whether or not that date is realistic.

The reason I consider the Sagrada Familia a ‘marvel’ is the fact that every year it morphs and takes on a new life.  My pictures from when I saw the building 10 years ago show a completely different building than what my friend visited this past summer.
