The Sagrada Familia commenced construction in 1882 and is due to be finished by 2026 (that's Spanish construction for you). The completion is designed to align with the 100 year anniversary of Gaudi's death.
GaudÃ’s conception of the Sagrada Familia was based on the traditions of Gothic and Byzantinecathedrals. His intention was to express Christian belief through the architecture and the beauty of the building and communicate the message of the Evangelists. He achieved a symbiosis between formand Christian iconography, with a personal architecture generated via new but thoroughly logical structures, forms and geometries inspired by nature, with light and colour also playing a central role.
