La Sagrada Família
One of Catalonia’s most intriguing landmarks, the
bizarre Church of the Holy Family designed by modernist architect
Antoni Gaudi, was started in 1882, but it remains unfinished and an
object of controversy. Gaudi worked on what was considered his
masterpiece until his death in 1926, imbuing the structure with his
characteristic fantastic Art Nouveau styling. Work has continued
sporadically since, but Gaudi left no plans for its completion and
the continued construction has run rampant. The church site
stands at the junction of Marina and Provenca streets in the
central city area.
