Basilica of the Sagrada Família. Welcome to the Temple

Sagrada Família is an outstanding temple not only because of its origin and foundation, but due to its purposes as well. Conceived at the XIX century, it is a church grounded on the traditional schemes of the Middle Age cathedrals that Gaudí continuously modified by introducing new building solutions. These solutions were based on ruled geometry and double twist. He enriched it afterwards with sculpture elements that are alluding explicitly to the Christian mystery.
The Temple is currently under construction and, still today, is being built according to the guidelines of its creator, which are supervised by the works director and coordinator, Jordi Faulí. However, construction new technologies are being added. It is expected that the building will be finished by 2026, on the centennial of the architect's death.
As years go by, Sagrada Família has become a Barcelona's identity symbol recognizable at a worldwide stage.
