Sagrada Família, Barcelona

1880-Now

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

A historic moment: the main tower of the Sagrada Família has finally been completed

The day before, it was consecrated by Pope Leo XIV, marking the 100th anniversary of the death of the great architect Antoni Gaudí.

The 172.5-meter Tower of Jesus Christ has become the tallest part of the church, and the Sagrada Família is now considered the tallest Christian structure in the world.

Construction of the basilica began in 1882. Gaudí died in 1926 without ever seeing his main masterpiece completed.

However, this is still not the final stage: interior work and the main entrance still remain. So the world’s most famous long-term construction project is officially not finished yet.

A fireworks and light show commemorates a new tower at the Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona after a blessing by Pope Leo XIV.

Thousands of people attended the mass at the church that has taken 144 years to build already - and is still unfinished despite millions of visitors every year.

The giant new Jesus Christ tower was completed in February, making the basilica the tallest church in the world at 172.5 metres.

Full completion is expected in about a decade.

The ceremony was held on the centenary of architect Antoni Gaudí's death in 1926.
