The basilica de la sagrada familia is a roman catholic church in barcelona. its plans began way back in 1874 when a local organization began campaigning for the construction of a church honoring the holy family. after a couple of years of planning and drawing up plans, the church’s cornerstone was officially set on march 19th, 1882.
the church is still not finished due to the complex design by architect antoni gaudí, funding challenges and the loss of some of gaudí’s plans and models.
in 2026 the construction is set to be finished with the final tower dedicated to jesus christ, which will make the basilica the tallest church in the world.
