This bizarre Church of the Holy Family designed by architect
Antoni Gaudi. Construction of this started in 1882, but its taking long time
because of the funding issues. Even though Gaudi dedicated his
life for this project, this was unfinished when he died in 1926.
Today this became a city land mark and
visited by thousands of tourist every year. Top of the tower can be
reach by a lift and by walking. You can get a good view of the city from
here.
Sagrada Familia will be able accommodate around 13000 people. The arrow of 170 meters will
incarnate Christ. Still the construction is not completed and
expected to finish by another 20+ years. Funding will be by ticket sales
and private donations. Once the construction work is completed, there will be
18 towers. According to the design, four towers of each of the three
facades represent the 12 apostles. Another four towers represent the 4 evangelists.
The largest tower dedicated for Jesus Christ.
