The Expiatory Temple of the Sagrada Familia is the unfinished masterpiece of Barcelona’s most celebrated architect, Antonio Gaudí, who began work on it in 1882. Known around the world simply as La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí worked on this towering example of Barcelona’s modernist architecture for more than 40 years, right up until his death in 1926. Its eerie, snaking lines and omnipresent detail make it unique among Europe’s many cathedrals, and its eight spires, which stand 100m (328ft) high, were intended, with the addition of another four, to represent Christ’s Twelve Apostles. Despite the fact that work still continues on the cathedral to this day, it lies in a perpetual state of incompleteness, with only one of its three façades actually finished. There is a small Gaudí museum inside the temple, which details Gaudí’s life and provides information on the history of the building.
