Is it done yet?  "La Sagrada Familia"

I had a chance to go and visit La Sagrada Famila, is an interesting temple in that has most magnificent sculptures detailing seen anywhere, it is as you cross the border between dreams and reality. Light, bright colors, the symbolism of forms inspired from nature create a unique dream atmosphere.

The building is in the center of Barcelona, and over the years it has become one of the most universal signs of identity of the city and the country. It is visited by millions of people every year.

Which is weird for me is Spain has the only building in the world that is famous and it isn't even finished yet, the work on the church, which was designed by legendary Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, began 132 years ago, in 1882, and continues to this day.


It is expected to be finished in 2026, but no one knows when it’s going to be done...
