Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí's famous structure in Barcelona, will finally be completed in 2026 after more than 140 years of construction.
It’s a landmark that’s been more than 140 years in the making—and now, it will finally be complete.on Monday. Its Chapel of the Assumption is expected to be done in 2025, and the Tower of Jesus Christ will follow the next year, according to the organization in charge of managing the site.
Antoni Gaudí, the Catalan architect whose work can be seen around Barcelona, designed the famous church. He envisioned the structure as having 18 spindle-shaped towers, each a nod to a different biblical figure: Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the 12 apostles, and the four evangelists. By the time of Gaudí’s death in 1926, the Sagrada Familia was just 10 to 15 percent complete, including a crypt, a transept, and some of the apse wall.
Once fully finished, the Sagrada Familia will become the tallest church in the world, CNN reports, beating out Germany’s Ulm Minster for that title. The Tower of Jesus Christ, that final component, will stand 566 feet tall and feature a 56-foot-tall four-armed cross.
