Barcelona’s architectural icon, the Sagrada Familia, has reached a historic milestone. Workers installed a 17-meter-high white cross atop the basilica’s largest tower, officially making it the tallest church in the world. This crowning achievement comes 140 years after Antoni Gaudi first designed the monumental structure.
The basilica, renowned for its intricate facades and unique fusion of Gothic and Art Nouveau styles, has been under construction since 1882. Gaudi dedicated the latter part of his life to the project, and while he passed away in 1926, his vision has continued to guide architects and craftsmen through decades of painstaking work.
The Sagrada Familia’s tallest tower now rises above the Barcelona skyline, symbolizing both a triumph of human ingenuity and the enduring legacy of Gaudi’s genius. Visitors and admirers from around the globe continue to flock to the site, witnessing history in the making.
