The Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona is a church located in Italy, built more than 2,000 feet above sea level into a vertical cliff on the Italian mountain Baldo before Valdadige.

 It looks like it's suspended in mid-air and it was originally a secluded spot for holy people to come for contemplation. The church was built in 1530 and has become a place for pilgrimage. Due to its remote location, it was never completely destroyed and managed to survive into the 20th century. In the 1970s, an Italian architect renovated the church, keeping as much of the original art as possible.

The church that has been under construction for 143 years

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.
