The construction of the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain, commenced on March 19, 1882. As of today, May 17, 2025, it has been under construction for approximately 143 years and 2 months.

The basilica is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world and was designed by the renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. Gaudí dedicated most of his life to this project, working on it from 1883 until his death in 1926. At the time of his death, less than a quarter of the basilica was complete.

We also explored the campus of the Hospital de la Santa Creu I Sant Pau Church. It is quite a large complex of beautiful buildings.
