A 25-year hunt for a miracle to make a building a saint? Holy scaffolding!
“Gaudí, l’arquitecte de Déu” is a story of faith, of overcoming, about five lay that decided to create an assossiation to demonstrate that Gaudí deserves one of most valuable titles of the Church: beatification. The Pro-Beatification Association of Antoni Gaudí has been working more than 25 years to manage to beatify the architect of Reus, picking up all witnesses and proofs that demonstrate that Gaudi lived like a beatus and, the most difficult part, wiaiting for a miracle to happen attributed do Gaudí himself, an essential condition for his beatification. The documentary will follow this case, showing Gaudi’s life and work from a new outlook, more intimate and linked to spirituality and beliefs of the architect.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Sagrada Família has been under construction since 1882—longer than the Great Pyramid of Giza took to build.
Gaudí's beatification push represents a rare Vatican effort to canonize a creative artist, not a traditional missionary or martyr—testing whether spiritual architecture counts as holy work.
