When Will Sagrada Familia Be Finished?
Construction of the Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí’s iconic basilica, began in 1882 and is projected to be completed in 2026, marking the centenary of Gaudí’s death. Delays due to funding, wars, and Gaudí’s complex designs have extended the timeline, but recent progress, aided by modern technology, is bringing this masterpiece closer to completion. Our Barcelona tours, like the
Sagrada Familia and Hospital de Sant Pau Tour, offer skip-the-line access and expert insights into its ongoing creation.
What Is La Sagrada Familia?
La Sagrada Familia is a UNESCO-listed basilica in Barcelona, designed by Antoni Gaudí, blending Gothic and Art Nouveau styles. More than a church, it’s a symbol of Barcelona’s creativity, with intricate facades depicting biblical stories and a soaring interior inspired by nature. Still under construction, it’s one of the world’s most ambitious architectural projects. Our Barcelona guided tours with art historians unpack its symbolism and Gaudí’s vision, making it a must-see landmark.
What to Do and See in Barcelona?
