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.
