I know I have had the conversation with quite a few people along the way….will we ever see this without cranes and scaffolding? Take a look here!
Antoni Gaudí’s Sagrada Família is finally shedding the cranes that have clustered around its towers for well over a century. Probably the world’s most famous unfinished building, the basilica has been under construction for 144 years. On 10 June, the centennial of Gaudí’s death, Pope Leo XIV is due to bless the Tower of Jesus Christ, completed in February, at a mass. Spain’s prime minister Pedro Sanchez will be among those in attendance. The inauguration marks the symbolic completion of the church, though work is expected to continue for another decade.
