History of Sagrada Familia. The foundation stone was laid in 1882, when the
land around the basilica was mostly fields. It was designed by celebrated
Catalan/Spanish architecht Antoni Gaudi. The Sagrada Familia interior only
opened fully in 2012 and worth visiting. The natural light through the windows in
the morning and afternoon is stunning. The exterior is very much still under
construction and currently at around 75% completion with only 8 of the 18 spires
completed.
The goal is to complete the Sagrada familia in the year 2026 to mark the 100th
anniversary of Gaudi's death. 2016 will be 144years after construction started.
Gaudi died tragically in 1926 after being hit by a tram. At the time of his death
only the nativity facade was almost finished. Gaudi knew that he would not live
to finish the temple and once famously said, 'My client is not in a hurry' meaning
God. This famous basilica is also one of the Barcelona locations in Dan Brown's
new novel Origin. Watch this YouTube video to see how the finished Sagrada
Familia will look. To visit the Sagrada familia you can take a hop-on-hop-off bus -
or take the metro to station Sagrada Familia. See map.
