A church 142 years in the making, designed by a dead genius whose plans were bombed to hell.
The Sagrada Familia, Antonio Gaudi's most ambitious creation, was begun in the 19th century and is still under construction today. With Gaudi's tragic death in 1926 and the destruction of original models during the Spanish Civil War, the building languished for decades.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gaudi was hit by a tram in 1926 and mistaken for a beggar due to his shabby clothes—hospitals refused him, delaying treatment.
The Sagrada Familia only got a building permit in 2019—137 years late, with a $41 million fee. Bureaucracy: undefeated.
