La Sagrada Familia is one of Barcelona’s iconic structures. Designed by Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, construction began in 1882, but was only one quarter complete at the time of Gaudi’s death. Now, with just 10 years to the 100-year anniversary of Gaudi’s death, plans are in place to complete the church by 2026.
“There is no reason to regret that I cannot finish the church,” Gaudi once said. “I will grow old but others will come after me. What must always be conserved is the spirit of the work, but its life has to depend on the generations it is handed down to and with whom it lives and is incarnated.”

Share on FacebookGaudi's work is unlike any other. It's daring & imaginative. The money spent completing this church paid the salaries of numerous workmen so they could feed their families & who might has been hungry & homeless without employment.
Beautiful but another example of where the money could be used to help the people churches say they are there to help.
Most of the money used for construction of the Sagrada (at least at the moment) comes from the visitors' entrance fees. The rest is supplied by private donors. So in this case the church could acutally use their money to help people. If they actually do that is an entirely different issue.... Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia
