One of the most important attractions of the city of Barcelona is indisputably the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia<\/strong>, and it is no wonder!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its history and architecture fascinate us more every day. We are in love with her to the core!<\/p>\n

135 years ago the first stone of this wonderful building was laid and, to this day, its construction and maintenance continues to meet the wishes and design of its creator and promoter: the architect Antoni Gaud\u00ed.<\/p>\n

There are now five generations that have seen the evolution of the temple in Barcelona, always respecting its origin, foundation and purposes.<\/p>\n

THE ORIGINS OF THE SAGRADA FAMILIA<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s go back a bit in time to put you in a situation …<\/p>\n

Did you know that in its beginnings, the Sagrada Familia project did not belong to the architect Antoni Gaud\u00ed?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Initially, the project was taken over by the diocesan architect Francisco de Paula del Villar<\/strong>. However, there were different discrepancies of a technical nature, as well as in relation to the cost of materials, so it was decided to assign the project to an emerging architect of the time: the great Antoni Gaud\u00ed. He wanted to give a 360\u00ba turn to the design of his predecessor and transform the proposal towards a very ambitious design: the Sagrada Familia would be the church of the future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE ADVANCES OF THE SAGRADA FAMILIA<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In recent years, numerous advances have been made on the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia.<\/p>\n

Despite the stoppage in the construction of the temple due to the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2020 progress was made in the construction of the towers of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary<\/strong>. At the end of the year, the latter already had all the levels of panels in place and only the elements of the terminal were missing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During 2021 all efforts have focused on completing the aforementioned tower of the Virgin Mary, which forms the second tallest tower in the Temple at 138 meters high<\/strong>. That awful!<\/p>\n

This tower was finally crowned with the famous twelve-pointed star on November 29, and was officially inaugurated with the central act of the Eucharist and with the subsequent blessing and illumination on December 8<\/strong>, coinciding with the Day of the Immaculate Conception.<\/p>\n

In this way the completion of the second tallest tower of the Sagrada Familia was celebrated.<\/p>\n

A milestone in the history of the Basilica!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This twelve-pointed star reflects the sunlight during the day and shines brightly at night, being the most important star in the sky of Barcelona and lighting the streets of the city, like the star that guided the Three Kings to the portal of Belen.<\/p>\n
